This is a very special class. We adapt each individual class to the group of clients participating. We take the client's injuries, issues, limitations, and ability level and program accordingly.

The Foundations level focuses on building functional movement patterns working with pre-Pilates (physiotherapy style exercises) and foundational Pilates exercises to build strength, endurance, coordination, balance, flexibility, and core stability.

Foundations classes are perfect for those who are new or newer to Pilates, those who need to build important muscular connections, those who like a slower transitional pace, or for those rehabilitating an injury. For a short period of time (1-2 weeks) Foundations classes are also great for Intermediate or Advanced clients who are experiencing a little niggle (low level discomfort) in a muscle or joint.

Brand new clients wanting to try the Pilates method are welcome to attend any Foundations class on the schedule, we’d love to have you! If a new client does not currently have a movement practice or hasn't exercised before or has an acute injury, it is recommended to attend 3 privates sessions first.

Depending on the theme of the class, clients benefit from using a variety of Pilates Apparatus.

Intermediate classes work at a solid intermediate level to increase strength, endurance, coordination, balance, flexibility, and core stability.

For most, the intermediate level is the perfect level to stick with for a long time. Class flows a constant moderate pace, yet we also make time for explanation and demonstration to achieve effective form to receive important muscular connections.

Clients should not have a serious injury for the Intermediate level, please pick Foundations classes instead. A solid understanding of the Foundations level of exercises is needed.

Clients need to feel comfortable standing on wooden platform and carriage during side splits and lunges, as well as, kneeling on the moving carriage. Approval is needed before attending Intermediate classes for the first time, please connect with Amy for advice.

Advanced classes work at a very challenging level and are perfect for experienced participants who can change equipment settings swiftly.

Not every client needs to aspire to the advanced class as a much greater level of muscular control and connection is required. Need to know the Foundations and Intermediate exercises well as less explanation is given to keep a strong flowing pace. Advanced exercises will have more explanation and demonstration to learn effective form.

Clients should not have a serious injury for the Advanced level, pick Foundations classes instead. Approval is needed before attending Advanced classes for the first time, please connect with Amy for advice.

This special invigorating class combines traditional and contemporary Pilates exercises with strategically placed cardio intervals using the jumpboard. The jumpboard is a fun piece of Pilates equipment that is placed near the reformer’s footbar so you can “hop” while being 100% supported on the carriage. The intensity is higher than regular Pilates apparatus classes. This class will strengthen your entire body, as well as, get your heart rate up.

Because of the faster pace clients who regularly attend Intermediate and Advanced classes will feel most successful in this class. Not recommended for those newer to Pilates. Need to change equipment quickly, feel comfortable standing on wooden platform during side splits and lunges, and feel comfortable balancing on Reformer in kneeling position.
