Classes
Our goal is to teach our classes in such a way that you learn how to use the Classical Pilates Method to take care of your body and function optimally. Improving your movement quality while challenging you to get strong and flexible through consistent practice. Directed classes offer step by step instruction on how to safely use the apparatus while getting a satisfying and challenging workout. The open classes are a great place to explore working towards finding your own flow on the mat, reformer or wall unit. They are an opportunity for you to practice under the eye of an instructor that will offer guidance and encouragement when needed during your workout. At least 3 private lessons or consistent directed class attendance is recommended but not required.
Directed Classes
Matwork & More
If you’ve never done Pilates this is a great place to start! This class will focus on teaching the Mat work exercises and understanding how the other apparatus in the studio work together to make the mat work better. The best part about Pilates Matwork is that all you need is your body and a towel or yoga mat to do it on your own. It’s our goal for you to walk away from class feeling strong and uplifted and with at least one exercise you can do on your own to keep the feeling going!!
Wall Unit & More
Learning to work against the resistance of the springs in Pilates is where the magic is! This class will focus on teaching you the exercises on the Wall Unit and Cadillac that are appropriate for your body and what you are working on in your personal practice. Springs are what make Pilates the perfect resistance exercise as the springs will inform your body to work from the center with control.
Classical Reformer
This is the place to learn The Classical Reformer order in a directed class that will focus on the exercise set up, appropriate springs, and ways to step into and prepare for more advanced exercises in the system. We strive to keep the reformer order to its Classical roots by sticking to Joe’s order and omitting exercises that aren’t appropriate.
Wunda Chair
The Wunda Chair can be one of the most challenging pieces of equipment to work with in the studio. With a focus on building strength and enhancing the body awareness around the shapes of the spine this class will challenge you to connect your mind to your body and give you a workout that will leave you feeling long, strong, and uplifted.
