This class is intended for someone who has already completed our Introductory Special and/or is NOT NEW to Pilates equipment and Pilates verbal cuing. We focus on developing strong box awareness to prepare bodies for advanced beginner exercises, intermediate level exercises, and sometimes an introduction to advanced level exercises depending upon enrollment. This class can expect to move the body using flexion, extension, side bending, rotation, correct alignment, and the six principles of moving: centering, concentration, control, fluidity, precision, & breath. Some classes may introduce or build upon the concept of “two-way stretch” meaning movement from a strong center against this two-way stretch expanding to multiple directional oppositional forces.
This class will engage your body awareness through flexibility, strength, and mental acuity.
Each group equipment class is limited to four or five participants. This ensures we maintain a superior quality of instruction as you receive individualized attention even in a group setting. This is an excellent way to try different styles of teaching and to complement other exercises.
Equipment may include: Chairs, Reformers, Small Barrels, Spine Correctors, magic circles, poles, hand weights, foam rollers, balls, bands, and other small props.
