What to Expect
Get ready for a good time.
The Pilates method is comprised of a series of small, fluid movements that initially don’t seem difficult but become more challenging as you do them. Deep, inner muscles are worked and stretched as you’re cued and corrected throughout the class. Both mind and body will be fully engaged and time will fly by as you focus on the movements.
When you arrive, please remove your shoes at the entryway and turn your phone to silent.
Grab water if you need it and find your place at a Reformer.
You’ll be guided through class by an experienced instructor who will observe your form to ensure you’re moving safely on the equipment and deepening into each exercise. Modifications will be offered to accommodate your body and your goals.
Afterward, expect to be energized and stand taller. You may also feel a pleasant soreness in muscle groups you didn’t know you had!
