Class/Session Descriptions
Every studio has different class types with different names, and let's face it, that can get confusing! To help alleviate that, we have provided in depth descriptions of each of our classes to make it easier for you to decide which one is best for you. You may then use the links below to schedule privates or group classes through MindBody Online. Please contact us if you still have questions, or would like help picking a class. If you have any past injuries or movement concerns, we request you do the reduced priced Explorer Package (Privates) before starting class with us the first time.
Pilates Class Clarification:
Pilates Class Clarification:
Reformer: Our studio uses Allegro and Studio Reformers and is limited to 5 participants for quality instruction. Reformers provide resistance through the use of varying spring strengths and the practitioner’s own body weight. Exercises can be performed lying down, sitting, prone, kneeling and standing depending on the needs of individuals and level of ability in each particular class. Pilates “props” and floor work may be added in as well.
Mat: Movements and exercises performed on a floor mat (thicker than a yoga mat). This is a nice way to experience the Pilates Principles and learn the exercises without also having to get used to new equipment. The mat Movement Essentials class is a great place to start and ensure a proper foundation for all the Pilates repertoire/equipment before joining Reformer classes. A bonus is these exercises can be easily practiced at home. Many then come back to classical mat or reformer as they understand the work in a deeper way.

Reformer 1
Reformer 1
This class focuses on bringing the Movement Essentials into the Reformer work. Clients are guided through the basic exercises in all spatial arrangements as appropriate for each class.
Emphasis is on proper breathing and body mechanics, a solid foundation for a functional core and scapular stabilization. As always, this class is a wonderful blend of strengthening and stretching. Predominately closed-chain exercises.
Reformer 1/2
Reformer 1/2
Appropriate class for those bridging between Reformer 1 and 2. This client is proficient in Movement Essentials and very familiar with Reformer 1 repertoire, but is not yet holding the new movement patterns consistently enough for Reformer 2.
Reformer 2
Reformer 2
A class for those who consistently display proficiency in the Reformer 1 repertoire and a command of Movement Essentials. More challenging and complex exercises/variations are introduced. An ability to be able to maintain core control throughout an exercise and on an inhale is necessary. More standing and quadruped work, more long lever exercises, and more rotation are included.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release
The Rossiter System is a method for targeted relief and prevention of structural pain. It is a unique and effective approach, derived from Rolfing, that typically provides fast pain relief and profound anatomical change. Rossiter initiates change by addressing the Myofascial System layers. It actively engages the client in a series of techniques for resolving restriction of movement at its source – the connective tissue.
These sessions are done with clothes on and predominantly on a floor mat and may incorporate the tools Rock Blades.
A Rossiter session must be paid for as a private either with the single or punch card options and can also be done in half hour segments.
Makes an excellent active recovery
workout.
Metamorphosis Reflexology
Metamorphosis Reflexology
Metamorphosis creates peace within by addressing unconscious tension. Unconscious tension is underneath all that you are trying to fix, change, and heal.
Metamorphosis uses reflexology points and works on feet, hands, head and spine.
A treatment is non-verbal and deeply relaxing. Using gentle touch, we work on the bony structure of the feet, hands, head, and directly on the spine. You remain fully clothed during the process with the exception of your feet.
