Great workshop, easy to follow. Fantastic energy and really provides a great way to flow choreography. Thank you!
I really liked the variations to the exercises and the suggested pace. I've tried a couple in my classes & my clients have enjoyed them. Very clear instructions & key points popping up on the videos are great and easy to follow/understand. Fantastic!
I enjoyed this workshop very much. I love the movement patterns and how they make exercise feel like dance.
Great workshop! Loved the snowman circle variations and swan variations!
Love the progressions! Great instruction. Great course.
Enjoyed your clear and energetic delivery. Have some questions which I'll post on the Forum.
Great class!
Loved it - and very easy to incorporate.
Great cues and creative progressions.
Awesome variations and many ideas!
Loved the choreography! I was skeptical at first with such a long intro but it did not disappoint. I would like to have had more detail on spring load.
Great workshop with fun variations. Thank you!
Great Info
Loved the creativity and intention behind each movement. Can't wait to try this with my clients.
I love Valentin's work. Her explanations were great and the variations were fun! I teach group reformer classes of up to 12 and, like Valentin, I love group work. But, it can be challenging to teach. I'm 100% with her on teaching the essence of the exercises, but making it fun and varied. Thanks for a terrific workshop!
Great workshop. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Valentin. I loved this workshop.
Great workshop! Very clear, informative, and innovative. I’ve been teaching group reformer classes for 20 plus years, so it was really useful and inspiring to get some new ideas to add in to my classes. Thank you!
Easy to follow course
I was fortunate enough to be certified by Valentin many years ago and it is so fun to watch her online workshop. She is as creative and dynamic as ever!
Appreciate new cues and variations!
Very creative and inspiring workshop! Thank you for sharing your energy and knowledge!
Great workshop providing many options to change things up. Thank you Valentin!
As a group instructor I love your approach...
Thanks, Valentin! Very creative and thought provoking! I thought that I was creative in my workouts--but this has added new thoughts to my roster! Thanks for sharing; you are beautiful! :)
Thank you so much for giving us long time teachers new choreographical sequences.
I liked the progressive choreographic add-on "chains". Perhaps mixing the verbal lecture in between some of the videos of exercise or at the end would be helpful.
Loved this workshop! I learned a lot of fun variations:)
Helpful variations. Starting from different positions and different shapes was great...
Totally loved the choreography. Will slowly incorporate some in my teaching. Thank you!
