Pilates Classes

Below are the class descriptions. Please see timetable for class times

Restorative-Backcare/Pregnancy
Location: Claughton Street Physical Therapy Centre

These classes, different in intensity but similar in approach, are designed to give the weak and aching back what it desperately needs. We begin slowly, with a focus on improving perceptual skills, before proceeding to the core of the class: a systematic engaging with the back from every angle. Attention is also paid to the neck, shoulders and hips – this is a whole-body workout. Throughout, clients are urged to do as much as feels right, while learning to avoid the excess that can lead to injury. Regular attendance will give you a strong, healthy back, improved posture and body use, and greater ease in the neck and shoulders.

Classical Mat Pilates
Location: Claughton Street Physical Therapy Studio

Great for beginners or those returning to exercise, incorporating the five basic principles. You will build core strength-the foundation of stability in exercises in order to progress. This class is designed to rebalance the body, bringing it into correct alignment, improving posture and body function. A variety of props and small equipment may be used to target different muscle fibres, and add an element of fun as well as challenge to this Classical Pilates Workout.

“In ten sessions you’ll feel the difference, in twenty you’ll see the difference,in thirty you’ll have a new body” Joseph Pilates

V2 Max Plus™ Reformer / Mat Combo
Location: Claughton Street Physical Therapy Studio

Apart from the regular equipment, the newly acquired The STOTT PILATES® V2 Max Plus™ Reformer adds a cutting edge to our offerings and a unique opportunity for our clients. Taught in groups of four, it has been designed to help clients work against very gentle tension and build up incrementally as strength increases. The V2 Max Plus offers restriction-free movement and limitless programming possibilities. For a superior workout, this piece of equipment allows the body to emulate the free, multi-dimensional movement of daily life. Its innovative vertical frame pulley system accommodates three-dimensional range of motion, maintaining workout flow and providing even, constant resistance without jarring.

Pilates Fusion
Location: Newly refurbished United Reformed Church

Begin your evening journey with Middle Eastern sounds of opium dens long forgotten. An interwoven fusion of Pilates and Yoga are ignited when opposites merge into one. This Intermediate class will challenge experienced students by exploring more in-depth the pranayama, namaskar, asana practices and the advanced repertoire of the Joseph Pilate. More intricate sequencing will introduce deeper balance, inversion and back bending poses to further cultivate ease and focus in body and mind. This class will go deep into the strengthening and awakening of core both with our muscles and attentive breath work. A great way to build strength while awakening the power of our bodies. This class is geared towards students with a consistent practice who have a recommended 6 months of regular pilates/Yoga experience.
