PILATES REFORMER LEVEL 1

This is our most basic, slower paced, introduction to Pilates Reformer and other apparatuses. A Beginner Class...appropriate for those who are new to exercise and Pilates. However, this class is still challenging. Expect more explanation on the "why" of Pilates. We will explain concepts and stretch a little longer. It's good for all levels to reconnect with their powerhouse and stretch more from time to time. Feel your Transversus Abdominis (abdominal belt), focus on shoulder stabilization, stretch your psoas and hamstrings as you focus on key components of Pilates based exercises on the Reformer and other apparatuses. Stretch, Strengthen, Align and Breathe into your ribs as you practice the most important components of Pilates...the Fundamentals.

Club Pilates “Stretchilates”

Have you taken lots of Club Pilates classes this week? Do you run and do regular boot camp workouts? This Class is our nicest, stretchy feel good, light intensity class offered at Club Pilates. If you are very tight (many men need this.... hint hint) and need extra stretching, this class may not seem so nice. Club Pilates "Stretchilates" includes a basic light 10-15 minute full body warm up. After that you will stretch your entire body for the remainder of the class. You will stretch your entire body using the Mat, Reformer, EXO chair, Spring Board, Ballet Bar, foam roller, ball, and any other modalities available. Use breathing, Pilates Fundamentals and muscle contraction techniques to stretch a little further. As we age, flexibility is generally decreased...not if you do Club Pilates"Stretchilates". Stay supple and balanced by incorporating this class into your routine. Tell your parents, spouse and friends who can't touch their toes or have low back problems. This class is sure to help. :)
