I thoroughly enjoyed these series of videos. It made learning and absorbing the information fun and easy. I also really appreciated the animations throughout the videos as well as the tips. This has been so easy for me too understand and i have never heard anyone explain these theories like this. Amazing!
Shaynah D
Very interesting content! I enjoyed learning about the breathwork!
Grace C
As someone who has very minimal understanding of anatomy before entering this course, I think adding a brief overview of the anatomy we'll be covering would've been helpful. Otherwise, I grew in my understanding of how Pilates works and it was incredibly insightful towards being able to offer language and visuals for my clients.
Madeline M
I thought this workshop was really helpful and a needed course in the pilates certification journey. Every piece of information is crucial and easy to follow.

Lessons like this should be taught starting in schools so that understanding of your body can be realized from a young age. Thank you for what you do. Many physical issues can be solved through simple and natural processes.

Lena B
Very thorough and in-depth explanation of the various concepts. I definitely get the connection to the fundamentals of WundaBar Pilates.
Rachel C
Class was supper informative and a true deep dive into core work like I have never had before. You can study anatomy but anatomy in movement and how it all connects is truly fascinating. Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and experience.
Laura M
loved it
Erika J
Loved it, thank you! :)
Ashley T
Thank you for this information! It has been very helpful for me to learn more about the core as it relates to a bulging disc injury I have struggled with in the L4-5 region of my spine.
Katherine J
Very informative! Would love to have the little text bubbles with the light bulb included on the PDF for the course.
Rebecca M

Melissa C
The online virtual class was simple, concise, and provided great visuals !
Steffani V
the workshop was super helpful and really took my knowledge about the human body to the next level.
Augutus M
Great course! Very thorough and informative. Anything online that's physical is hard for my learning style, so I had some trouble retaining but I still think it was wonderful.
Madi B
Great workshop.
Kat G
Great visuals!
Mona M
I think it would be more helpful if the "model" was more verbally interactive to report how the exercises felt internally when the movements were not visible to the outside onlooker.
Shara N
Marie Jose Blom is an absolute Pilates genius. I learned so much from this video.
Birgit S
Very detailed, great
Deborah A

great class
Victoria A
Loved it!
Charlie M
Great class! I expect I will be returning to it and rewatching several times over the course of my educational training.
Arielle O
Clear course that goes deeper into how important core muscles work
Stefanie C
The course moved at a great speed and was easy to follow. I probably will watch a few times to get names down a little more.
Debbie L
Wonderfully demonstrated.
Marcy S
Course was very good. Deepened my knowledge.
Lieve V
This workshop provides a lot of essential information and essential exercises to bring a client closer to his or her centre (both body and mind) before starting with any kind of pilates exercise.
Lauren N
This is a very intense and informative workshop. Marie Jose Blom is pleasant and the videos are helpful in showing what she is explaining.
Anne W
A lot of information. Would be helpful to have some guidance on how to give cues for a larger class size vs. one-on-one where touch can be incorporated at all times of need.
Lisa V
The workshop series was very comprehensive. I think for complete beginners, it would serve the students better if there was an anatomical intro video, something to get an overview of all the anatomical terms, prior to jumping into the movements and how they connect. Additionally, YouTube has a feature where you can slow down or speed up the video playback. I think this could be beneficial as well considering Marie tends to speak more slowly.
Taylor L
This workshop was well done. I enjoyed being able to learn about the body and how we use our muscles and joints it in pilates.
Stephanie R
Very informative. I would have liked more graphics of the muscles working in the skeleton to get a better understanding of where they are in the body and how they move just because it is a little hard to see it on the demonstrator's body.
Alison C
I found this information to be insightful and interesting.
Gabi H
I very much enjoyed the workshop! I appreciated a live video instruction rather than just reading it. The diagrams were also very helpful!
Victoria C
I thought the live demonstrations in each video aided the knowledge I already had about the body. I liked the speed of the video so I could follow along like a step by step tutorial.
Emma G
I really appreciated how this course was broken up. Not coming from a background that included anatomical study, it made a lot of information feel very manageable. I absolutely loved the digitized diagrams. They greatly helped where some of the terminology went a little over my head.
Lauren M
It was very well explained, I enjoyed the diagrams on the PDF outline. I wish there were more of those per session
Cristin W
This was good to watch these videos although I found them quite complicated I tried to follow along and rewind them as best I could. I mostly got lost in all of the bone and muscular terminology but took a couple of things I hopefully can use in teaching.
Sara C
I would really like a similar workshop about the upper core by Marie José. I love this great master. Please tell her to come back to fusion again!
Victoria M
The sessions were extremely thorough and helpful. It really made a difference to be able to pause, rewind, or start over an entire session. I also found the bubbles of side notes to be really helpful as well. I'm sure with notes I wrote down, along with the notes provided, I'll be ready to teach in no time! Thank You :)
Thea B
Great training! Thanks so much!
Lynda J
The anatomical descriptions of the purposes of the muscles were interesting. It was useful to learn how the systems work together to create a more functional body.
Gabriella V
Great and informative course. Was able to apply what I learned throughout this course while practicing pilates and while studying for my certification. Very easy to access and flow through.
SHAUN M
All great stuff and very well portrayed!
