LEVEL 1 PILATES EQUIPMENT
If you are new to Pilates equipment or would like a refresher of the fundamentals, this is a great place to start.

It is important that you learn the proper function and form before advancing your practice.
LEVEL 2 PILATES EQUIPMENT
Have you been coming to Pilates classes consistently for a few months? Ready to move a little faster and deepen your connections? Then Level 2 is for you.
You will move through a system of challenging exercises lying face down, face up, sitting and standing on the reformer while working with spring loaded weight and props. You will continue to reinforce Pilates principles of breath, precision, control, flow, centering and concentration while practicing your body placement. We move at a quicker pace than Level 1 so you’ll become more familiar with your body and the equipment. We may introduce you to a few new moves and some new things you may not have known about yourself.

All levels welcome, although we recommend beginners take a few Level 1 classes first. Pilates Jumpboard is a high intensity cardio-based Pilates Reformer exercise that simulates running and jumping without stressing your joints. This class will get you into your target heart rate zone! A great cardio workout option for those who have physical restrictions that prevent them from high impact exercise.
Balance + mobility reformer
An appropriate class for students Level 2+. Should have some experience on Reformer Pilates, but the class will meet you where you are. In this class we will begin with a typical Reformer warm up, incorporating slightly more of a focus on stretching and mobility. Then class will progress to more challenging balance and flexibility exercises, working up towards the Standing Split Series from Classical Reformer Pilates, or modifications of. This class will challenge your center, coordination and balance and leave you feeling nice and stretched!
Pilates chair
Ten prior Pilates classes (Mat or Reformer), or comparable outside experience with instructor approval are required. Of all the pieces of Pilates Equipment, the Wunda Chair offers the most athletic challenge. Unlike the Reformer or Cadillac Table, the base of support on the Chair is small, so all the exercises require balanced alignment and proper core support. To perform the intermediate and advanced exercises, you will need good upper body and lower body strength, pelvic stability and a strong core. The Chair's small size belies its remarkable power to build core stability and improve one’s overall Pilates practice.
