  1. Hi Lesley,
    This looks way fun! I went to your site and did not see where to sign up for this or the two combined classes……I hope I am not the only ninny.

    Deb

    1. Deb, you’re SO not the only one asking! I’m really excited that you’re ready to sign up, but mark your calendar for Sunday – because that’s when the cart will open and the first class will be available!

      ps you’re not a ninny!

    1. Hey Nikki, these classes are going to be so fun in addition to the Mat ones you’re already taking! And, thanks so much for sticking around to watch the bloopers. I had a good laugh at those too! xx~LL

  2. Your laugh makes me laugh! You are doing great! I think I’m going to start “taking” your mat classes 🙂 Love you Lesley!

    1. I love your laugh Karen! When you start taking my mat classes you’ll have to film so I can hear you laugh through class. You work more abs when you laugh you know haha! I also just filmed some beginner classes. So, I’ll make sure we get those up so you can have those when you join to help you get started. But, I always give suggestions for those who are new or can’t do an exercise yet.The beautiful think about Pilates is we just do the same few exercises in different ways so you can always do something we already did or part of it! Love you Karen!! so excited to have you in class! xx

  3. Way too advanced for my 69 year old injured spine but I know your regulars will love it! Fortunately I have an amazing trainer here in GA who I see once a week, and the other days I use my home reformer. Have fun, y’all!

    1. Hi Veronica, I am sooo happy to hear you have your own teacher in GA! And, you have your own Reformer! You’re amazing. I totally understand injuries and needs for modifications. I do give lots of options for doing something different that will still keep you flowing. But, I also think it’s incredibly awesome that you know your body and what it needs so well. Keep doing your home practice and hopefully I’ll get back to GA soon and we can do Pilates in person xx~LL

    1. Hey Annie in London! I can’t wait for you to hear what happens on Sunday! And, friday I’ve got one more video with fun things in it. Stay tuned xx~LL

  4. I’m in! Excellent idea and point of difference. Great knowledge. Encouraging attitude. Concise delivery. These are no small things. I remain impressed. I’m very happy to have found you. 🙂

    1. I am so happy we found each other too Jeanette! Thank you for your lovely words and I can’t wait for the Reformer workouts to begin. Let me know if you have any requests xx~LL

  5. I’m in 100%! I have watched your instructional videos on individual exercises on the reformer for a while now (so I can get them right!) and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to follow a complete workout on the reformer. I Love your style of teaching and that humor is part of your repertoire. Thanks Lesley!

    1. Barbara, Yay! I am so thrilled you’ll be joining us. Thank you so much for watching my videos. And, I promise the humor continues in the workouts. The annual membership will open tomorrow until Thursday! The first class will be available early so as soon as you sign up you can start flowing xx~LL

  6. I just want to sign up, so I can hear you laugh everyday! Your laughter is the best! ❤️

  7. Hello! Now that I’ve registered and taken my first class… I can’t seem to find where I click to go to my class. I just don’t see the place where I log in?

    ❤️

    1. Hello GrandmaFox,

      Lesley and the team are so excited that you’ve joined us for her weekly online Pilates classes! Classes go live every week on Tuesday at 2:00 pm PST and are available for 7 days, until being replaced with the next week’s class. During that time you can watch these classes as many times as you would like from your desktop, laptop or mobile device.

      To watch the current class you must be logged in to the website. You’ll find the login at the top right corner of the website, and also on the right side of the weekly classes landing page or the current class page. On mobile it will also be up in the menu (the three little lines at the top of the site) and below the video on the class page, so just scroll down until you see it.

      The easiest way to find class is to go directly to your account dashboard, where we have included a link that will update itself each week: https://onlinepilatesclasses.com/memberships/account/

      Once you are on the class page you will see there is a section in the middle that has a tab. One tab is for the mat class, the other is for the reformer class.

      If you are loving these classes, please consider sharing them with a friend, and we sincerely thank you for using Lesley’s website! She built this to create the first online video catalogue of Pilates exercises, and to offer online classes. If you ever have any questions about this website, Pilates exercises, Pilates business or Pilates retreats, just ask! Lesley responds to every email sent to her (and I’ll forward yours over!)

      Thanks, and see you on your mat,

      brad

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

See you in class,

xx~LL

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, light weights and a Mat!

TOPS 'N TAILS

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Tops ‘N Tails (or Tops & Tails) is a wonderful expression I grew up with! It means being ready-to-go…from top to bottom, front to back, end to end! Isn’t that exactly what Pilates does for our minds and bodies? It encourages us to ready for any adventure that comes our way because our workouts use variety to engage the whole body, and to focus our minds.

This month’s Reformer workout will have us exploring Tops ‘N Tails by working from the ends of The Order. We’ll alternate exercises from the beginning and from the end of our usual routine for a challenging time! You’ll need your reformer box and pole.

On the Wunda Chair and Mat we'll be focusing on working from the top half or the tail half of our bodies! While every exercise requires the whole body. Setting ourselves up for success from the Top to the Tail makes the most difference!

On the Cadillac/Tower we will work on how the top half of the body helps to support the bottom half and vice versa! Pilates allows us to use the whole body to help with strength from Top to Tail! Let's explore how the springs on the Cadillac/Tower make us connect to the whole body in each exercise.

MEET ME HALFWAY

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

This week we’re going to focus on how we use Abduction and Adduction to center ourselves, find our control, and harness our power. We’ll be working about halfway through The Order of Exercises on both the Mat and the Reformer with an Adduction - squeezing toward center - focus , then we’ll go back to the beginning and repeat those exercises with an Abduction - pulling away from center - focus. You’ll need something you can squeeze and something you can pull apart. So grab a ball and a resistance band, or just a magic circle and meet me halfway!

See you in class,

Tami

LEG PULLS ARE FUN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Alright so maybe they're not fun! But, what we think about an exercise does matter! And if you don't like an exercise or you tell yourself you can't do an exercise I promise you your brain and body will believe it!

So, I'm taking Leg Pulls (Control Push Ups on the Reformer) and making them fun! So we can ALL enjoy what is possible from these dynamic duos!

Have a squishy ball or stuffed toy nearby for our Leg Pull moments on the Mat. Reformer no props needed.

See ya in class,

CONTROL YOUR BALANCE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Alright loves, you may not like going overhead and you may not be able to…yet..

But this week on the Mat and the Reformer we will be ready-ing ourselves to Control our Balance.
Yes, the exercise but there are so many ways to work this that if you are not going upside down you're going to feel your balance get controlled!

Think long legs, asymmetrical legs and maybe even a little single leg deadlift.

On the Mat, if you do struggle with balance go to a wall during the standing work or have a chair nearby. No extra props needed for the Reformer.

See ya in class,

xx-LL 💋

SLINKY SPINE?

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

I know you remember the slinky! So wouldn't it be nice if our bodies could move like that? Well, it's not necessarily good to be super bendy, but it is good to be able to articulate the spine when we are able. In the classes this week we will work through the articulation and flexibility of the spine, as well as pay attention to trying not to go too far. Finding your strength and connections in your flexion and extension is going to be the key! Hopefully, you will feel like a slinky here and there throughout the class!

See you in class,

HORSES HORSES HORSES

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

If you are a lover of the Reformer chances are you have little love for the Horseback. I don't blame you. It's not that fun. If you're on the Mat you probably have no idea what this means…

And that's ok! Horseback is like a seated Teaser but harder!

On both the Mat and Reformer we will be playing with how to connect to this exercise, prepare for it and find a Horse that works for us!

Props: Mat, have light weights nearby

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS SKIP TORSO DAY!

Online Mat, Reformer, Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

I was thinking of arm days and leg days at the gym, and even the memes you see, which can go both ways. Either dragging yourself around the day after because you're so sore, or you have no muscles at all to hold you up because you skipped those days. Always the extremes with the memes (hey, that rhymed!), and that’s why we love them.

But this is what I love about Pilates - it’s the full body, the whole body. Everything is working together so one part is not overdoing it, while another part is doing nothing. The upper body, the lower body, and the side bodies are connected to our center, so that’s where our focus will be. Even when you think it’s about the arms or the legs, how can you ask a little more of your center to engage?

Props for the Wunda Chair: yoga block and long box for some exercises

See ya in class,

xx-LL 💋
