Is online Pilates effective?

As long as you have a good teacher who gives great cues and moves well (for the visual learners) then Pilates online is very effective. Doing a mixture of online live and video classes is your best choice as it means that the teacher can give you individual cues when live and then you can take these into your practice when doing videos.

Choosing a programme with a mixture of strength, flexibility and mobility options is great. You want to work your body as a system as while as individual parts. Balance is key.
