CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Introduction to Pilates - THIS IS WHERE YOU BEGIN!
This series of 4 one and half hour classes is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge of the Pilates discipline. Pilates fundamentals, terminology, correct body alignment and spinal mechanics build the foundation needed to perform the Pilates work and Ron Fletcher Work™. These classes are offered in a private setting, a duet (shared with another) or you can pre-register for a group class.

*After completing this series, students will be eligible to participate in Pilates Mat and Fletcher Floorwork group classes. *


Pilates Mat
Pilates Mat is based upon the authentic philosophy and “body contrology” exercises -such as “100’s” and the “Roll Up” - developed by fitness pioneer Joseph H. Pilates. This class is an excellent tool for increasing core strength, flexibility, overall muscle strength and better postural alignment. Correct execution of the exercises (along with Percussive Breathwork™) will result in core conditioning, uniform muscle development and tone, centering, spinal articulation, and other principles which assist in efficiency and effectivness of day to day movement and an overall sense of well-being. “Sound body, Sound mind…”

Fletcher Floorwork™
Classical Pilates techniques are combined with other movement forms providing a full-body experience that increases strength, flexibility, balance and body awareness. The elegant and physical patterns of movement are floor-based, however each class will also incorporate valuable shoulder girdle stabilization and resistance work by using the Towelwork™ and/or the Magic Circle. These lightweight/portable resistance tools open and expand anterior chest muscles, increase shoulder girdle range of motion and prepare the body for weight bearing work on the Cadillac and the Reformer equipment.


Group Reformer
Utilizing a unique piece of "resistance" equipment, the Group Reformer class caters to each student's individual ability and strength. The spring-based resistance provided by Reformer combined with Pilates exercises work simultaneously to tone, center, lengthen and strengthen the entire body. Class size is limited to five students which allows more individualized instruction.
**Introduction to Reformer and/or Private instruction is a pre-requisite to this class.**


TRX Suspension Training™
is the original bodyweight-based training tool that builds strength, balance, flexibility and core stability for people of all fitness levels.
