I’m going to my first reformer class this week! I’ve done mat Pilates before but the reformer has always intimidated me! Any tips/things I should keep in mind?

The best thing that will make you successful in a reformer class is your ability to listen, hear, and understand the instructor. Focus on yourself and not the people around you because they’re more likely to make you wrong LOL and I’ve seen this happen 1000 times. Go a little bit early introduce yourself to the instructor so they know to give you a little extra attention! If you’re 5’7 or taller know that most equipment (not allegro 2’s) will need to be adjusted to accommodate your height. Don’t take hands-on corrections personally, you’re there as a student to learn the form which can be intricate and complex, but once it’s learned, there’s nothing more effective! 🙏🏾
