ABSOLUTE BEGINNER: Gentle Pilates
If you are wanting to start your Pilates journey but not sure where to begin, then I have designed this program for the absolute beginner or for the person who would prefer a gentler class.
This class will make you feel welcome and teach you about the reformer machine. We will keep you safe throughout your workout and give you appropriate modifications to suit your individual needs until you build confidence in your practice.
We will also educate you on the Pilates principles so you have a full understanding on awareness and connection to your body, balance, alignment and correct breathing.
ALIGN: Pilates Level 1
This may be the perfect place to begin your Pilates journey or suitable for those wanting a slower paced, more focused practice through, cues, alignment, postural and co-ordination.
Guiding you to connect with the deeper muscles through strengthening, activation of lazy or dormant muscles, observation of stretching and lengthening of muscles.
A better connection with breathing process and concentration of mind.
A moderately challenging class adapting and modifying as needed to suit the individual.
PROGRESSION: Pilates Level 2
This class mindfully moves at a pace assuming you have had experience on the Reformer and have knowledge in the Pilates exercises and equipment.
You can comfortably move at your pace or progress to more challenging levels.
