Investment in Yourself
One-on-One
Private sessions give you undivided attention and a program built entirely around your body, goals, and history.
Private sessions may include use of all available equipment, including the reformer and tower, based on your specific program.
As I am still working towards my Pilates certification, private sessions are currently greatly discounted, making this a fantastic value!
Groups
Small group sessions provide you with personalized instruction, but also allow you to share the experience with a friend. Small groups sessions for up to 3 people are available. Due to current available equipment, only Mat Pilates is available for small group sessions. Reach out for more information, including pricing.
Questions
Today, there are two major variants of Pilates practiced - classical and contemporary.
Classical Pilates aims to be as close as possible to the original teachings of Joseph Pilates. Each session follows a set sequence of exercises, which are repeated in an attempt to drill the movements. Classical Pilates exercises are often performed with a "flat back" against the surface, and the exercises emphasize flexion of the body. It is a structured, traditional workout.
Contemporary Pilates, on the other hand, is based off of Classical Pilates, but adapts the exercises based on our modern understanding of the human body and anatomy. Contemporary Pilates uses very similar equipment, although springs may be lighter, as well as additional props such as balls and bands. It focuses on a "neutral" spine, recognizing the natural curve all people have. In addition, Contemporary Pilates lends itself more towards adaptations for different bodies, whether that be due to injury, disability, pregnancy, or current physical fitness level.
While Classical Pilates is important and opens up a window into Joseph Pilates' intentions, I am a practitioner of Contemporary Pilates and personally believe it is more advantageous to today's society.
