Anyone new to Pilates should start with these four YouTube challenges, according to instructors

A woman exercises at home on a mat. She is on her hands and knees, with one leg raised in the air behind her. In front of her is an open laptop on a stool and behind her is a couch and plant.

Learning Pilates can feel daunting and exciting in equal measure. If in-person classes feel too intimidating, doing beginner-friendly challenges at home can help you master the basics.

"Pilates is a progressive practice that builds upon a strong foundation," says Jill Drummond, director of programming and education at BODYBAR Pilates.
