Beginner Pilates Mat:
The traditional Pilates floor work sequence strengthens and stretches your entire body while decompressing your spine and improving posture, leaving you energized and refreshed. Our beginner mat class introduces you to the principles of the Pilates Method while waking up your deep abdominal and spinal muscles and teaching you how to modify the workout to a level appropriate for you. Lots of individual attention is provided to make brand-new beginners feel at ease.

Prerequisite: None. We recommend, but do not require, that you schedule at least one private session or our Intro to Pilates Package prior to joining your first mat class.

Intermediate Pilates Mat:
Our intermediate level mat class is for those who have already had a minimum of 20 – 30 beginner classes or six months at the beginner level. Knowledge of the fundamentals learned in beginner mat will be challenged with a fuller repertoire of exercises. Attention will be paid to working the arms and legs in addition to the “core” muscles. Expect to improve your knowledge of proper body alignment, balance and control while engaging in a flowing, dynamic, full-body workout.

Prerequisite: At least 20 – 30 beginner mat classes or six months at the beginner level.

Pilates Mat with Props:
This class allows students of an intermediate Pilates mat level to add variety, interest and challenge to their workout by using the Magic Circle, stability balls, small balls and Thera-bands to work the abdominals, legs, butt and arms to the max. Strength and stamina are emphasized -- come prepared to sweat, but realize that the props also enhance the fun. A sense of humor is therefore required!

Prerequisite: Intermediate Pilates Mat level.

Get your Pilates workout the way Joseph Pilates intended, working on all of the apparatus (Reformer, Cadillac, Tower, Chair and Mat) in a systematic fashion, sharing the instructor’s attention with only 2-3 other students. In addition to challenging your “core” from different angles and in different positions (lying down, sitting, kneeling, standing), this class will teach you how to set up your equipment for each exercise and how to modify the exercises to suit your level.

Prerequisite: Intro to Equipment series OR a minimum of 3 privates OR our Intro to Pilates package.

Intermediate Pilates Equipment:
Build on the fundamentals learned in the beginner equipment level and deepen your understanding of the movements while working strength, stamina, stability and flexibility.
