Pilates & Yoga
Yoga and Pilates are both low-impact workouts that focus on using bodyweight resistance.
The benefits are vast. Both workouts can increase overall health, leading to a better quality of life. As with any exercise, proper form is crucial.
Pilates
Unlike open level classes of other studios, all of our classes are customized for specific skill levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced
These levels allow a natural progression, ensuring that a student is ready to advance to the next class level.
After a level assessment, our instructors can determine whether a student is ready to move up to the next level.
Pilates Classes
01.
Beginner Class
Beginner classes cater to the absolute beginner. This level is ideal for new students to build their knowledge of the basic principles of Pilates, while also giving them the opportunity to build up their coordination and strength.
✳︎ This level is appropriate for women who are pregnant.
02.
Intermediate Class
Our Intermediate level classes are designed to further challenge the coordination and strength of students through variations of the classic Pilates movements. These energetic, fast paced classes include some modifications for more advanced exercises, but students are encouraged to challenge themselves.
✳︎ This level is not appropriate for women who are pregnant.
03.
Advanced Class
Advanced class levels are high intensity Pilates classes. This level is only recommended for students who have already been taking the intermediate classes and have been assessed, approved, and promoted to this level by our instructors. Due to the intensity of the movement and quick transitions between movements a certain level of coordination and strength is required from each student to ensure safety.
✳︎ This level is not appropriate for women who are pregnant.
