Pilates is a low-impact workout that focuses on controlled movement and bodyweight resistance to build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance overall body awareness.

The benefits of Pilates are wide-ranging, from improved strength and flexibility to better posture and overall well-being. As with any movement practice, proper form is essential to get the most out of each session and avoid injury.

At the intermediate level, you’ll begin to flow through movements with more challenge and coordination. These classes build on the basics by increasing resistance, range of motion, and balance demands while still emphasising control and alignment.

Exercises may include:

  • Hundred with leg extension
  • Plank variations

  • Side-lying leg series

  • Bridging with leg lifts

  • Short spine massage on the Reformer

Pilates

Unlike open level classes of other studios, all of our classes are customized for specific skill levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.

These levels allow a natural progression, ensuring that a student is ready to advance to the next class level. After a level assessment, our instructors can determine whether a student is ready to move up to the next level.

Pilates Classes

01.
Beginner Class

Beginner classes cater to the absolute beginner. This level is ideal for new students to build their knowledge of the basic principles of Pilates, while also giving them the opportunity to build up their coordination and strength. 

✳︎ This level is appropriate for women who are pregnant.

02.
Intermediate Class

Our Intermediate level classes are designed to further challenge the coordination and strength of students through variations of the classic Pilates movements. These energetic, fast paced classes include some modifications for more advanced exercises, but students are encouraged to challenge themselves.

✳︎ This level is not appropriate for women who are pregnant.

03.
Advanced Class

Advanced class levels are high intensity Pilates classes. This level is only recommended for students who have already been taking the intermediate classes and have been assessed, approved, and promoted to this level by our instructors. Due to the intensity of the movement and quick transitions between movements a certain level of coordination and strength is required from each student to ensure safety.

✳︎ This level is not appropriate for women who are pregnant.
