Appropriate for all levels, however we recommend Re:form School 101 if you are brand new to Pilates or coming back after inactivity or injury. Modifications and progressions will be provided, but not appropriate for those with injuries or special needs. (55 minutes, 5-10 max capacity)
Learn to "work the springs" and improve your daily life through better stability and strength!
Learning to work the springs provides a unique opportunity to work all muscles and limbs individually and in tandem, giving you feedback to better understand how your body moves. This understanding will allow you to activate deep into the powerhouse transverse abdominal muscles, finding and correcting imbalances. These improvements in proper core muscle recruitment and development translate to an improved Pilates practice and better posture in general.
