Level 1 Beginner-Essential Class

About the Class

Begin your journey to build core strength, stability and heightened mind-body awareness! This class is ideal for those who have learned introductory concepts through private sessions or an introductory Pilates series such as our New Client Package, have limitations they are working through or are just getting back into the studio after a long hiatus. We provide specific guidance on using the Pilates Reformer equipment, focus on the fundamentals and essential exercises of Pilates, allow ample time for transitions and coach you to safely progress toward your fitness goals.  Not sure if this class is for you? Are you becoming: Aware of breath and beginning to naturally coordinate breath with movement. Able to maintain a stable pelvic position during open chain, closed chain, or semi-closed chain exercises. Able to control the equipment with your body—for instance, closing the reformer carriage quietly without “banging,” changing springs and putting feet or hands in reformer straps efficiently and safely. Able to stabilize shoulders/scapulae during upper body movement.
