From classic to innovative Pilates, students can enjoy an eclectic blend of movement modalities in a number of ways whether it is one-on-one, self-directed or in a highly creative and fun Springboard or CoreAlign class. We strive to help students attain the goals they set and to provide them with the skills they need to make Pilates an integrated part of their wellness program. We hope it becomes a lifelong practice in mindful movement!
In the following pages you will see details about each of our programs. To access a particular program see the QUICK LINKS to the right.
Classes
Classes include Mat, Springboard and Equipment Trio classes and range from Fundamental (pre-Pilates) to Advanced. For in-depth class descriptions see our online scheduler.
$25 10 Day Trial (For new students only): A great way to explore what class is right for you. Try all of our Mat, Springboard, Cardio and Zumba classes for 10 consecutive days. Meet our teachers, establish a routine, begin your Pilates journey.
*As of May 1, 2012, we will no longer be offering the 10 Day Trial. Instead students can sign up for a 30 Day Unlimited Class Membership Trial for only $69. This special offer includes a FREE 30 minute private session with a student teacher and access to 3 Exclusive home-practice videos!*
- Pilates Group Class: Our group classes are all classically based, but lend themselves to additions and variations to better serve our student’s particular needs, highlighting work on the Springboard and other props and apparatus such as the Pilates Arc. Our teachers bring their own individual specialties to enhance the Pilates work depending on the specific focus of the class.
- About the Springboard: The Pilates Springboard is fantastic and versatile piece equipment evolved from the classic Trapeze Table by Master Teacher Ellie Herman. Springboard classes include adapted classic Mat and Trap Table work to create a balanced, supportive and challenging repertoire working with arm and leg spring resistance. Build a third dimension to your workout!
(Not included in the 10 Day Trial)
- Equipment Trios: A great and affordable way to get your equipment workout in. These classes are designed for 3 people working on all the pieces of Pilates equipment or on one designated piece ie. Reformer Trio or Chair Trio. Classes are designated by level or by focus ie. Advanced Trio For Athletes or Beginner’s Trio.
- CoreAlign Trios: These trios are totally AWESOME! They function just like our regular equipment trios except students are working on the new and innovative CoreAlign. See the CoreAlign page for more details.
Private Pilates
Although the private session format came a little later in the evolution of the Method, it can be an indispensable part of your practice.
Private sessions give students an opportunity to have an in-depth and intimate conversation with a teacher and establish the best path to practice. They also allow students to build the foundation they need to safely and successfully begin their Pilates journey.
