Classes & Schedule
The focus of Pilates is based on nine principals: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breathing, Rhythm/Flow, Balanced Muscle Development, Whole Body Movement, and Relaxation. This makes Pilates truly a workout for the mind, body, and spirit. Symmetry, control, and flexibility are stressed.
A Pilates session is 55 minutes in length and is composed of a combination of apparatus and Matwork.
GROUP Activity - 10 People Max
Mat Class
Pilates mat classes focus on developing core strength, flexibility, balance and stamina. A series of exercises at multiple levels inclusive for a beginning, intermediate, or advanced pace. Students learn to be aware of breathing patterns and spinal alignment while engaging the deep muscles of the core. Various props (e.g. flex bands, foam rollers, rings, light weights, and balls) are incorporated to enhance and intensify the workout. No previous Pilates experience is necessary to join a mat class. (Drop-In OK).
GROUP Activity - 7 people max
Reformer/Tower Class
Small group equipment classes utilize the primary Pilates apparatus. The spring resistance of this specialized equipment provides a challenging, bone strengthening endurance workout. Best of all, the equipment is easily customizable for the user which allows individuals to work at an appropriate fitness level. Visible results can be seen after a dozen or so regular sessions. If you are new to the Pilates method, we suggest you start with our discounted introductory package of 3 sessions to learn the basics before attending group class.

GYROTONIC® Private Sessions with the Pulley Tower Unit
We work the entire body with the pulley tower and in an incredibly wide variety of seating, laying, kneeling and standing positions. With the enormous range of possibilities with the pulley tower, it's possible to work with people at any level of strength and fitness. Because much of the work is seated, it is an excellent tool for rehabilitative work. When we take the bench away, we can work on total body, athletic style stretching and strengthening. The work on the Pulley Tower is organized into various families depending on how the equipment is being used. Each of the different families also emphasize different body segments.
