The classes are kept small to ensure each student gets the assistance with form they need. The exercises done on the reformer are designed to improve core strength, help with stability and enhance body awareness. The repertoire taught in these classes will challenge your muscles in a full body workout!
Pilates Mat
This is the classic origin of Pilates. Using only a mat on the floor, we go through a series of exercises that focus on core strength, moving the spine and breathing. We offer classes that are appropriate for beginners, with our introduction to Pilates classes, as well as more advanced “pace and flow” classes for more experienced students. We often use small props to add variety and challenge to our mat repertoire. Pilates mat is something that is always beneficial, can be challenging on any level, and a workout you can take with you wherever you go!
Private Instruction Pilates
This is the perfect way to learn the foundations of Pilates and receive one on one instruction tailored to your specific needs. You will work with an instructor who first starts by learning your health history and your specific goals. Each session will be geared to teach you a solid understanding of Pilates, along with fine tuning your form and alignment in each movement.

Each unique piece of Pilates equipment offers something to enhance your experience and allows you to progress at your own pace under the guidance of an experienced teacher. Many of our students take one or two private sessions a week, to continue to focus on fine-tuning their practice, along with taking our group classes. They find with the added benefit of the private instruction, they get much more out of all the other workouts they do.
