Hello!

This question is geared more towards women that have had male instructors or male instructors that can weigh in, but have you ever felt like your male instructors were a lot more “physical” than your female instructors? I recently had my first class with a new male instructor and I myself am fairly new to Pilates too which could be why my form needed help. He did ask for permission for hands on corrections and I did say it was okay, but I felt like I was getting hands on corrections for nearly every move after that, more than any other individuals in my class. A lot of the corrections involved grabbing my waist, lower back, and hips.

I ended up leaving class feeling uncomfortable. I learned my lesson that will not give permission for hands on corrections moving forward, but am I overthinking this? Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Thank you so much!
Edit: grammar

Hello! I have heard that sometimes there are Memorial Day sales for Oura Rings. Does anyone know if that may be the case for this year?

Hello beautiful people! I am fairly new Pilates (like one month in) and I absolutely love it. As a full time working mom, it was really hard to find time to work out, let alone enjoy it so I am happy I went out of my comfort zone and tried Pilates.

I do want some advice from the pros out there; I am trying to tone up and lose a small amount of weight. I have already noticed a difference in my core, posture, and overall how I feel but I do wonder sometimes if I need something more “intense” to lose the stubborn post baby belly? I currently have only been going twice a week into level 1 courses. I just went up to the unlimited membership and aim to try and go at least 3 times a week. Will I be able to achieve my goal of losing weight about 10 pounds or will I need to supplement with another work out? If so, do you have any other places/classes you would recommend? Also, when you begin feeling ready to level up to a 1.5 class? About how many classes in did it take you?

I am already fairly lean, but just want to get my pink back. ☺️

Thank you so much!
