Classes

Pilates Classes

Our classes are designated as beginner, intermediate or advanced. If you have done fewer than 10 pilates classes please stay within the beginner classes or schedule a private session with one of our instructors to bring you up to speed to advance to the next level. To advance to an intermediate level, you should be able to do inversion movements such as short spine without using momentum to execute the movement. If you feel you are ready to advance please speak with one of the instructors to be cleared to move up. As a studio we request that you follow this process to eliminate injuries. Our instructors are thoroughly trained to spot areas that need to be worked on to help you progress in your pilates journey.

Beginner level teaches you the basics of the movements working to stabilize the central core of the body. As you progress and strengthen your core more challenging movements are added in, to include more upper body work, body weight exercises, standing on the reformer and inversions. Advanced work moves into a more rapid pace of movement challenging the stamina of the body.
