Pilates Mat
Pilates on the mat is a dynamic mix of exercises that focus on toning, strengthening, and flexibility. Students learn proper body alignment with an emphasis on engaging the core and can expect to use a variety of props while building endurance and balancing muscle groups. With a holistic approach and a variety of modifications available, Pilates is open to all abilities and is accessible to everyone.
Pilates Reformer
The reformer uses springs, pulleys, straps, and a foot bar to encourage concentric and eccentric muscle engagement while stabilizing the spine. Students will tone and stretch during this full body workout which will incorporate small props in addition to the reformer machine. Group reformer classes are limited to a max capacity of four students offering focused instruction for each participant.
