“I have learned a lot about my body’s anatomy. It’s easier to focus on one thing at a time, and I have a deeper understanding of what’s going on with my spine and all the muscles related to it, as well as a better understanding of how all the structures in my body are related. I have much stronger pelvic floor muscles now and am quite flexible.

My physical therapist is very pleased has told me that I ‘am doing all the right things’ taking this class.”

“I have bad knees which has caused stress and discomfort in my hips. By taking Mahi Pilates classes, I have much less hip discomfort.”

“Over the past two years I’ve come to depend on Mahi Pilates to stay limber and centered. From this class I’ve gained strength, flexibility, poise, and improved posture. Perhaps most importantly, I’ve learned to recognize and use my core.

When I had a knee replacement, Mahi helped me regain flexibility in my “new” knee and helped my body and mind adjust. In addition to being therapeutic, Mahi Pilates is a fun class. Although many of the movements require focused concentration, there is a lot of laughter. I encourage anybody, no matter their level of fitness, to give Mahi Pilates a try.”

“Mahi Pilates has strengthened my core and extended my body’s flexibility.  It has identified the ways my body has compensated for a weak core, realigned my posture, and retrained years of muscle memory.  l am a better, stronger, more stable, and confident dancer thanks to Mahi Pilates!”
Heidi R.

“Mahi Pilates program is a huge benefit to our community at large. The class helped me get through a very difficult time physically, with a severely herniated spinal disc. The exercises allowed me to get some degree of relief from my ever-constant symptoms and has made them fun, challenging, and enjoyable. I would highly recommend it to folks of all ages, looking for a great core strength supplement to their active lifestyle!”
Alix N.

“Practicing Mahi Pilates is an essential part of my workout regimen - it perfectly compliments my more aggressive cardio days (HIIT and boxing) and provided its own challenges.  There is no cheating in the water - lack of core strength or balance will result in a splash! I highly recommend this program to friends and colleagues of all ages and abilities, including my 70+-year-old father (an avid hiker who sometimes suffers from back pain).”

“After my second pregnancy, I had a 'mommy tummy' that just wouldn't go away. I tried my best on my own, guided by books and videos, to no avail. Then I started attending a Mahi Pilates class and saw that maybe there was hope. I started working one-on-one and was able to 'reconnect' the parts of my body that had stopped working together. Slowly but surely, I started seeing results. The progress I have made in those nearly two years of working with Mahi Pilates has been very impressive. My mid-section finally looks flatter, and I feel stronger overall. It was well worth it!”

“I am happy to write that I have gotten a lot out of the Mahi Pilates classes. I used it to supplement other workouts. I had tried briefly other forms of Pilates but don't do well lying down to exercise so I didn't pursue them. But aqua supplemented my other aerobic and resistance workouts. Learning about isolating and strengthening muscle groups was a big help in rehab injuries and I have avoided any kind of surgery.”

“I have a very disabled granddaughter and wanted a program that would strengthen my lower back. I can lift and carry her because of my twice-weekly Mahi practice.

I love the work we do for our spine and hips. I have noticed greater flexibility and improved posture since the start of my Mahi journey a few years ago. Mahi is pure fun and very low impact on the body.”

“My balance, strength, and range of motion have all improved. What is most notable for me now is that even as I have become quite proficient at many of the basic exercises, Mahi Pilates continually guides me to push the exercises further and to expand the exercises. I remain engaged and challenged and continue to see improvements in all the areas.”

“One of the most valuable aspects of Mahi has been the experiential learning about how our muscles are connected and work together. This understanding continues to help me with posture, balance, flexibility, and better movement both in and out of the pool.”

“I'm taking Mahi Pilates at the same time as taking Pilates Reformer, and they complement each other well. My main goal was to get more awareness and to experience more embodiment. I knew it was working when I was helping my husband install a stovepipe and I adjusted my stance to integrate some different muscle groups, and I felt I could hold up the stovepipe for longer. I especially like the core work we do in Mahi Pilates--it's really different than most core work I've done in fitness classes out of the water.”

“I have found it is a great way to work my body in the least stressful way. It is also good for my mental health”

“I enrolled in Mahi Pilates because I was healing from shoulder surgery. I was 66 years old and wanted to stay flexible. I figured I would be safe in the pool, even if I fell. From day one, I could feel a change in my abdominals. I remember wishing I could have learned this stuff in High School; I might have avoided surgery.

Mahi Pilates has kept me flexible and strong for my age (76 in May).”
