Dear Jessica, I always respect Pilates teachers who move and talk during class.😊 Because to me this always seems a bit more difficult to simultaneously focus on both your own body and in the meantime focus on the student.🤩 And to be honest, I don't think you talk 'too much'. I listen to you very carefully because, as far as I'm concerned, you express yourself well and that means that I understand the exercise better technically and can therefore perform it better. In addition, it is pleasant to listen to you too. Thanks for this nice lesson.👍

Thank you Jessica for telling us how to breathe on all your workouts. I never know when I'm supposed to inhale or exhale. You're a great teacher!

totally agree. as i have an erratic work schedule, i rely on online videos for workouts. used to do pilates a lot many moons back, and while i know breathing is important, it was Vanessas videos that made it clear to me. Keep up the breathing instructions, Vanessa. Thanks heaps!

No you don't talk too much! I saw a comment of that, how rude. We all have our teaching style and it would not be fair to change over a few rude people that can just watch another video (but r probably still watching u neways lol) I like you because you explain why. I shy away from exercise because I have endometriosis and I am always tired and achy. Some moves make me feel uncomfortable and I find your voice and explanations soothing and since I understand what is happening I keep going. When you explain that "just stay there if that's comfortable" and it will still work it prevents me from overexerting myself which I would because I want to do everything just right. Thank you!!

Love all your gentle pilates and stretching videos. 2021 I was rush to ER because of intense pain in my lower back , I passed out twice before my parents took me ER. after giving me pain reliever and then examining me for a couple of weeks, the doctor concluded I have sciatica. Sciatica at age 30! I know my lifestyle has been very sedentary but to be honest, I never really like any exercise. For me they are all too hard and I get discourage then I am not able to finish them. Then a friend sent me a link to your videos. Ever since then, this is the only channel I go to when I needed stretch or any gentle exercises. I think because of all your encouraging words I am able to finished the videos without feeling discourage! I hope you never stop talking on your videos. I realized I am the same as you in I need to know I why I need to do all of these exercises. It helps me stay motivated.
