Our Classes
Apparatus 1:
Function & Focus
Are you new to Pilates, recovering from an injury, or getting back to basics? This class will focus on connecting your mind with your body to develop functional movement patterns. Quality of movement is valued over quantity of repetitions. By developing proper technique and building a strong core, you will train your body to move in safer, more efficient patterns of motion— invaluable for injury recovery, sports performance, good posture, and optimal health.
Apparatus 1-2:
Concentrate & Coordinate
Moving beyond the basics, this class practices coordination of breath control along with organization & alignment of the torso (spine, shoulder & pelvis). Concentration on smooth, flowing movements will strengthen mindfulness, bringing you acutely in tune with your body. Challenge yourself to put movements together with precision and strength. Improvements to breath and awareness lead to increased capacity in functional movement and improvement in athletic endeavours.
Apparatus 2:
Elevate & Integrate
With practiced concentration and control established, this class is for more experienced practitioners. It adds challenges of longer duration and intensity, developing stamina while completing the exercises with just the right amount of effort needed. You will discover how unnecessary tension releases itself from your body. Emphasizing complete concentration on functional flow and deep, powerful breathing, you will become acutely aware of how your body feels, where it is in space, and how best to control its movement.
Apparatus 3:
Power & Precision
This advanced class requires an ability to perform challenging exercises with optimal alignment, further developing your unconscious control. Fluid breath and core activation throughout the session will result in a powerful, coordinated, whole-body experience. Pilates exercises become second nature and practice leads to a powerful body with improved posture, increased strength, flexibility, and enhanced physical abilities.
