REFORMER LEVEL I:

The place to start for new students, or students who have been away for a while.  Students become accustomed to the movement and manipulation of the Reformer, and are introduced to fundamental exercises: Footwork, Bridging, Leg Circles, Arm Circles, Scooter and Elephant Stretch; and isolation exercises to strengthen the abdominals, obliques, and lower back.

REFORMER LEVEL II:

This class builds on the fundamentals taught in LEVEL I, increasing the difficulty level through added resistance, increased repetitions, pulsing, use of props, and performing exercises from a kneeling rather than seated or supine position.  Exercises include The Hundred, Double Leg and Reverse Knee Stretch to challenge the abdominals; Long Spine, Short Spine and Traveling Bridges for deep spinal articulation; Standing and Kneeling Lunges; and Full Body Integration postures.

REFORMER LEVEL III:

Be prepared for a strenuous workout!  This is a rapidly paced class, packed with exercises that simultaneously build strength, challenge balance, and stretch the muscles. Full Teaser, Balance Control, Advanced Lunges, and complex stretches - Tendon Stretch, Long Back Stretch and Down Stretch - are added to an intense routine of Footwork, Extension, Abdominal, and Intgrated Upper Body exercises.

MAT LEVEL I:

This class introduces students to foundational of Pilates principles of spinal alignment, core engagement and ribcage breathing.  Students well learn fundamental Pilates exercises: Pelvic Tilts, the Roll-up, the Stomach Series (Single and Double Leg Stretch, Criss-Cross), Spine Twist, Leg Circles, Back Extension, Bridging, and Planks.

MAT LEVEL I/II :

A transitional class, preparing students for the full rigor of a Level II class.  Additional exercises enter the practice – the Hundred, Teaser, Swimming, Corkscrew, Swan -  and difficulty level of fundamental exercises is increased through the use of props, added repetitions, and accelerated pace.

MAT LEVEL II :

A rigorous, rapidly paced class building on Pilates fundamentals. Balance and strength challenges are added to the basic exercise suite, and advanced exercises – Control Front, Side Bend, Neck Pull, Jack Knife, Hip Circles -  are introduced.  Props are used extensively.
