"The mat program is a unique journey for me. Among all the athletic instructions I have had, this is the most structured, modern and effective one.  Sandy can observe my body in detail remotely and provide me with step-by-step guidance to guarantee improvement. No matter where I am in the world,  I can get access to the best classical Pilates guidance, isn't it amazing?"

"Sandy and the Vintage Pilates Mat course has transformed my relationship to Pilates. I am no longer dependent on an instructor to guide me, my body knows what to do. I know the sequences by heart and I can feel the movements from the inside out. I really appreciate that the criteria for advancement to new levels is growing strength and body awareness. As a result, this course has given me a daily practice I can count on. The monthly 1:1 instruction is of the highest quality and keeps it fresh, I am always learning and have something to work on."

"One of the best benefits of joining the Mat Course is creating the habit of setting aside daily time on the Mat. Each class is just enough time to feel the circulation and get inspired to do more around the studio. As I pace through my moves with Sandy at the helm, I am finding more ways to use my studio equipment to help my Mat - and that certainly adds to my teaching.

Keeping up with the Mat Course encourages me to stick to the basics and experience them anew. I now feel how the exercises build upon each other, and I better appreciate the important subtleties that solidify my connections. Plus, it's fun to feel the changes, rather than overthink the moves.

Listening to the audio shuts down overthinking, and rather than looking at videos, I look inside. Because Sandy's tempo is comfortable and rhythmic, I find her words fall on my moves in different places each time. These repeated cues are interestingly received each time with a fresh sensation.

The 30 minute eyes-on consultations are a magically perfect amount of time to hone in on one major focus that can spread into my entire Mat. I think I'll hit the Mat now! "
