Begin (level 1)

Reformer + Mat + Props

This class is designed to be the first step on your Pilates journey. Begin with learning the essential Pilates principles and fundamental movements that will set you up for success in your practice. You will learn to establish and maintain new internal connections (both inside and outside the studio) and build a strong foundation from which to progress and further hone your Pilates skills. If you are new to Pilates, or wanting to re-explore the groundwork for your practice, this class is for you! 

*If you are a true newbie to Pilates, we always recommend starting with private sessions (we offer an incredibly discounted 3-pack) prior to joining group sessions, to set you up for as much ease and success as possible. If you are working with an injury or are newly postpartum, please make sure you are cleared for exercise by your health-care provider.  

Basics + Beyond (level 1-2)

Reformer + Props

Delve deeper into the basics and build a stronger foundation from which to progress and further hone your skills. Using the Reformer, mat, and props, beginners will learn the fundamentals that set them up for success. More experienced Pilates students (yes, this class is for you, too!) will strengthen and fine-tune their technique and connections. In this class, you will be challenged and encouraged to take whatever level you’re starting from even deeper.

If you’re newer to Pilates, We recommend taking this class 5-10 times (or with teacher approval) before moving to a Flow, Align, or Burn class. Safe for prenatal clients.
