very good thank you
Loved it as always!!!
Thank you so much for this workshop...my senior clients will love this! It was so much fun for me too!
Great class. Very easy to follow and repeat.
Love the progressions and neural connections.
great course. I have been doing some of these instinctively with my older movers, but got some great new ideas to try too.
Simple but sometimes can be challenging work for seniors. A little short though.
Great Workshop!
Some Great ideas. Although I thought more would be included. I would suggest a "little softer" approach with seniors- this lady (Judy) was doing her best!
Really enjoyed this - thank you!
Interesting.
Wonderful workshop! I work with many seniors at my Pilates studio and studied active aging in my college kinesiology classes. This demographic can be intimidating to some instructors but I find it very rewarding. I enjoy Valentin's style - keeping the pace flowing yet allowing the client to feel successful in their movement practice. Thank you Valentin!
Thoughtful exercises and the PDF that accompanied the video was helpful.
I liked the focus on posture and balance and the modifications for seniors...
Thank you, I got some great ideas to use in my group classes for older adults.
