Class Descriptions

Our Traditional Classes - 50-Minutes

Reformer - The reformer is a wonderful piece of equipment with a gliding carriage and springs to assist you in natural movement and developing healthy movement patterns. Most exercises are done in a prone or sitting position. Reformer classes are a great place to start if you are new to Pilates!

  Pole - Pole class is done using two upright poles attached to the wall.  A multitude of springs and hinged guides support your movement.  During the class you may be lying down, sitting and even standing. Pole is a great way to stretch out those sore tight muscles while building core strength. You will leave feeling better than when you came in!

Chair - Chair is a great class for those familiar with Pilates and want to try something new. The chair class will test and progress your balance and strength.  Many of the chair exercises are done in a standing or sitting position further challenging the Pilates fundamentals.

      Mat - In this class you will learn Pilates exercises on a mat - without the support of the equipment or the springs.  Your Pilates instructor will tax your strength and coordination as you move through the exercise without allowing faulty movement patterns or substitutions. Pilates Mat Class is arguably the most challenging of all the Pilates classes. Previous Pilates experience is strongly recommended. You may use small equipment such as the foam roller, Magic Circle®, or Therabands®.

Private/Semi-Private - This is a tailored one-on-one session (or two-on-one for semi-private) in which the instructor will guide you through Pilates using all of the equipment. If you are new to Pilates we recommend starting with our Fundamental Series and then transferring into a private setting for a few sessions before moving on to the classes.

Our New Classes - 50-Minutes 

Mat/Pole Combo - This class combines the challenge of Mat with the support of Pole.  The 50-minute session will help increase your strength and skill with Pilates Mat fundamentals interspersed with periods of assistance from the Pole equipment.

Mat/Chair Combo - This class combines the challenge of Mat with the fun of Chair.  The 50-minute session will help increase your skill with Pilates Mat exercises interspersed with periods of Chair exercises to increase your strength and balance. 

Our Shorter Classes - 25-Minutes 

Mat - With no support from the equipment, a full, 50-minute Mat class can be quite challenging. So, we have created a 25-minute Mat class using selected, traditional Mat exercises.  This shorter session allows you to experience the benefit of Mat work as you build strength and endurance without fatigue, which can cause faulty or unsafe movements.

Reformer – Progressing on the reformer requires increasing amounts of strength, stability and coordination.  More props and tools are added to challenge you as you improve in your skill and confidence.  These advances can be quite challenging when done for a full 50-minute session.   So, we have added a 25-minute session to aid in your success.  This class can be used when starting reformer classes, as a transitional class when progressing from beginning to intermediate reformer or as a focused refresher to help you with the details.

Our Series Classes - 25-Minutes

Six-Week Focus Group Course - This is a six-week course of once-a-week, 25-minute sessions. The purpose of this series is to help change specific areas of your body which are limiting you. 

We have two main areas of focus: Strength and Flexibility.   These areas of focus are also divided into regions of the body: Strengthening for core, upper body and lower body and Flexibility for spine, hips/legs and shoulders/arms. This series of classes build upon each other, increasing in difficulty, therefore, we ask that you commit for the full series of six sessions.

Pilates Fundamentals - This series of three, 25-minute sessions is an introduction to Pilates for the novice taught in a one-on-one setting. We keep the price exceptionally low to encourage everyone to perfect these skills which are the building blocks of true Pilates exercise. This series teaches the essential details of Classic Pilates including: Pilates-style breathing, correct pelvic floor elevation, segmental spine motion, pelvic tilts, head nod and core stabilization.
