*******  Semi-Private Pilates Apparatus Classes ****** 

For continuity of learning and progress, beginner semi-private classes will be run as a Series.   The winter trio series will run for 8 weeks. Investment for an 8 class series is $295.

**Pilates Reformer, Beginner Series: Tuesday @ 10:00 am and Thursday at 5:30 pm.  The Series begins Tuesday, January 20, and Thursday, January 22.

This Class is your introduction to the Pilates Method, focusing on the Reformer exercises and mat-based building blocks. Pilates exercises follow a layered approach, so you are always working to build skills for other exercises. Feel your core body in action, and energize from within.

Pilates for Mobility, Strength & Balance starts on Wednesday, January 21st @ 10 am, also an 8-week series.

This is a beginner class to support our active 55 + population and will introduce Pilates exercises that focus on improving function and posture,  with slightly less emphasis on spinal flexion. A perfect blend of Pilates meets function.  If you want to focus on spine and joint integrity, this class is for you.

***Pilates Semi-Private Equipment Classes are Trios – 1 teacher, 3 students. Cueing and feedback are provided for individual progression.
