There are lots of nice Pilates teachers out there, and their movements may be almost as "perfect" as yours. But it is your beauty from within, your loving energy and your sense of humor that makes all the difference. Thank you from a 62 year old woman who feels soooo inspired by you!

@DansiqueFitness 3 года назад

Aww thank you so much! Your comment really made my heart smile. So grateful for lovely supporters like you! XOXO 💛💛💛

@thatartgirl1615 3 года назад

I lost a love for heavy weights and high intensity workouts recently due to the pandemic, which is why finding your videos have been a lifesaver. Never done Pilates in my life until I found your channel, and now I don’t think I’ll want to do any other workouts ever again. The slow burn and your soothing voice explaining everything calmly makes me focus on every movement, and it helps me focus on really using every muscle, something I always feel like I didn’t quite hit when I’m doing all those HIITs (how ironic) and weight exercises . Thank you, for all that you do.

@DansiqueFitness 3 года назад

Ahhh I somehow missed this comment! So sorry for the delayed response. I really appreciate your kindness and support so much. I’m so glad you are enjoying my workouts. Sending love! 💖🥰💪🏼

Hi Desirée, this is such a calming, soothing, relaxing class - while challenging at the same time. I love love the calming effects of the color blue and of your smiling voice. (I took this class yesterday but didn’t get a chance to write you.). Thank you so very much. It gave me a solid foundation, and set the tone, for the day. 😘

Ever since I saw the first video of Desiree I fell completely in love with the way she explains the exercises and routines she does! Now I watch all her videos and it has changed my way of exercising since now I enjoy working out so much more! Watching her videos motivates me and makes me feel happy and amazing every time I exercise, which I think is the most important thing at the end. Thank you soo much Desiree for sharing your routines with us and for motivating us every day

On an impulse, I wanted to try this session, mistakenly believing that it would be out of my reach, but I did the right thing, because I was won over! I love this yoga pilates mix with, I guess, the inspiration of classical dance and the progressiveness makes the exercise affordable and enjoyable at the same time. Merci beaucoup, Desiree ! 😀 JJ, Wuhan.

I also want to add that my neck is not hurting as much anymore with exercises since I have learned how to hold my neck properly thanks to you. This is a great thing! There is so much throwing heads back in ab exercises in other people's videos, where as now I have stopped doing that and have learned to hold my neck still and use my core more rather than straining my neck. Anyway, thank you for that neck pain video and the reminders of what to do in other videos!

Yayy 1/2 workouts done 🥰 thank you 🫶🏻 I just have one question, my hip flexors tend to tense up when I do ab exercises. Do you have a tipp what I could do? All my love from Vienna

@DansiqueFitness Год назад

It’s common to grip your hip flexors during ab exercises….the stronger your core gets the less you’ll naturally feel the need to do that. In the meantime really try to relax your hips & thighs as much as possible - you have to be mindful of it. You can also play around with different leg positions (straight/bent) and see if either make a difference. 😉😉😉
