| Pilates Mat |
A
series of simple yet challenging exercises designed to align,
open, and strengthen the body with an emphasis on core support
and use of breath.
|
| |
Beginners- This class is designed
for people new to the Pilates Method as well as those looking to slow
down and review some of the basics of their matwork technique. Focus
is on establishing the biomechanical foundations to work safely and
effectively within the technique, as well as familiarizing students
with the choreography of some of the simpler Pilates exercises. |
| |
Intermediate- Beginning to add a
little more flow and challenge to the work, the intermediate class
assumes a knowledge of pilates fundamentals, and an understanding
of how to modify exercises appropriately for your own specific physical
challenges, Attention will be given to teaching, practice, and clear
execution of the exercises appropriate to intermediate students of
the work. |
| |
Intermediate/Advanced- Same assumptions
as Intermediate class, with the introduction of more advanced variations
and a focus of building more strength, coordination and accuracy within
the work. Whole body movement is emphasized and refined. |
| |
Open Level- This class is designed
for pilates students of all levels. Teaching is centered around creating
a body that is flexible and strong in the ways that the Pilates Method
demands. Basic and intermediate pilates exercises will be woven into
the work. Time is taken to address common trouble spots and biomechanical
challenges in safe and effective ways. While some familiarity with
the work is helpful, explanations will accommodate a range of experiences.

In Pilates,
good form and effective body mechanics have a huge impact on how
effective your pilates workout will be. Therefore, even if you are
advanced in another discipline, or are in phenomenal shape, but
have never studied pilates, we strongly recommend that you begin
with some of the beginner classes. If you are able to, it is almost
always a sound investment to work one on one with a trainer before
entering a group class, especially if you have specific physical
challenges or goals.
Please always feel free to ask a teacher if you would like feedback
as to what level you should be working at. We are happy to work
with you so that you can best benefit from your time with us. |
