Group Class Offerings

Meet Your Madre (the Intro class)
Designed to orient you to the studio, the equipment, and the general Pilates approach. This class helps you get the most out of group classes and feel empowered to show up to a real class. We review the Pilates principles. your personal setup on the reformer, and go through a brief workout so you have a better idea what to expect and if our space and approach is something you are interested in. This class is not required to attend other classes but it is helpful. **This class is suitable for injuries -Please let instructor know before class begins


UNWIND & RESTORE (Yoga based with Sound Therapy)
All levels welcome to both variations of this offering. Our morning option is restorative and refreshing. Our evening is rejuvenating and relaxing. Combine gentle stretching and somatic movement to release tension, followed by an extended savasana with soothing sound. Each class flows with the energy of the group offering a calm place to recenter. Somatic movement is a gentle yet mindful way of moving with a focus on tuning into the sensations of your body. We encourage you to feel and explore each movement to increase body awareness.

The Pilates Repertoire
(Get the most by committing to the full series but available for Drop-ins) 
The Pilates Repertoire is taught in a series of 4 or more classes to work through foundational and intermediate levels of the Balanced Body and Stott Mat & Reformer Repertoires. We stick to the books and our trainings in this class in effort to create awareness of what true "Pilates" is and explore the difference in the schools of training. The goal is to go through the full repertoires including the exercises that we may exclude from an average group class. This is Excellent for folks that are invested in Pilates specifically and not just a workout on Pilates equipment. **Essential levels are perfect ways to begin Pilates or recenter after an extended time off


Foundations 
The most important class in your repertoire as a beginner. Build best practices on the reformer as well as modifications for common exercises so they work best for you. Gain confidence in the building blocks of exercises and moves that we layer upon in other classes. You will improve, calibrate, and reassess exercise sequences. We recommend revisiting this class frequently, even when, and if, you feel like you are an advanced Pilates practitioner. Expect a beginner friendly pace but remember- Pilates requires your mental presence and ultimately you choose how much challenge you bring to the work. **This class is suitable for injuries- -Please let instructor know before class begins

Intermediate
A bread and butter class! You have improved your sense of balance and where your body is in space. You understand the principles of Pilates and postural markers an instructor may use to verbally cue you into a position. You are comfortable with making basic adjustments to the reformer. Expect an increase in general balance and coordination challenges throughout the session. You will be layering onto the foundational exercises and building new blocks for advanced exercises. Expect an intentional pace with the occasional lull if something needs a mini deep dive. 

resort

A beginner/intermediate friendly class with an ambient vibe. Maintain a vacation high or escape your stress in this class with reggae, island, and similar playlists. Perfect to build skill or as an active recovery.  **This class is suitable for injuries- Please let instructor know before class begins

SYTYA(So you think you're Advanced)

We begin to push the envelope in this class with more challenging and complex moves, and coordination. Expect an intentional pace with known series and sequences but lulls to learn new moves and understand them better. Attend this class after attending several other classes and feeling comfortable with your grasp on neutral/imprint, lower lumbar flexion, thoracic extension/flexion. Avoid this class if you are in an acute injury/pain phase or do not feel confident in your ability to balance on the carriage. 

Invite Only Advanced

This is a closed class for our loyal clients that have shown commitment to the their Pilates journeys. It requires paying attention above all else. We Invite folks when instructors are in agreement. We need to see the ability to follow instructions, avoid free styling, and focus. This is imperative for safety. When invited, you must be in attendance to at least one other class in that week to maintain your spot. 

BARRESQUE
It's Barre but in a Pilates Studio. We use our Cross Bow or/and Push Thru Bars to recreate the traditional stability barre. The Burn? It's just as terrible.

Renew
Renew is an opportunity for an active recovery and rejuvenation. It is an excellent warm-up or cool down. Trigger point and foam rolling tend to make an appearance. You will focus on spending longer times in release and stretch based intentions. This class will challenge your balance and help increase your endurance within exercises while maintaining a down-tempo approach. Make space for a slower pace with purposeful focus on breathing, articulation, and melting deeply into your practice

TOWER

We convert the reformer utilizing the mat extender to set up a class that allows us access to Mat and Cadillac inspired work. We use the vertical frame to challenge unilateral control and strength. The springs are slightly heavier than the reformer springs so expect more strength challenge. The Mat provides a stable surface so it remains an accessible and approachable class no matter your experience. 

Pure Mat
There is a saying in Pilates: "You can't hide on the Mat!" Why? Mat Pilates is the base of ALL Pilates. Often times it is the Reformer that helps prepare us for the Mat. Mat helps things make sense and it is very challenging. It can be scaled but there is a reason people avoid Mat work! It will help you grow your practice. 

Jump
Time to shake things up by adding cardio. This is a fan favorite and can easily become part of a consistent practice for those that normally despise cardio! Jumpboard classes improve coordination, proprioception, cardio & muscular endurance and provide an invigorating endorphin rush. Expect an intentional pace with moderate to challenging bursts.   

Roulette
A session of chance, also known as "Instructors' choice." Anything goes within your instructor's discretion! It's a fun way to avoid getting bored or feeling monotonous in a routine. It may pull you out of your comfort zone or introduce you to something you didn't know you like! Typically a combination class but there really are no rules. Come surprise yourself! 

Club
Turn up the music and have fun. It's that simple. Choose a workout in place of heading to the bar, the bottle, or your poison of choice. Laughter, smiles, and a good time is what this one is about. Jump leads the way to get our heart rates up! 

Resist
A Props/weights based Class in the spirit of Personal Training and Corrective Exercise. We do not utilize the reformer/carriage but may incorporate the vertical frame. Work the major muscle groups and complete resistance training in a small group format focusing on proper form as much as repetitions. 


STRONG
It's our Pilates+ model with more resistance training. We add props including beams, bars, weights, kettlebells and more to bring a gym vibe to the workout. Expect an intentional pace with more opportunities for challenge. It is a combination of Resist, Pilates and apparatus based work. 


RAGE
We use the reformer/tower and other props to approach our class with a group fitness/Advanced influence. The class is taught to the bodies that show up (meaning all present levels are considered). Expect anything from holds, bursts, HIIT, Tabata, circuit, and more. This class is designed to get you closer to fatigue and will ask you to push your limit while maintaining form. We chose "Rage" because it's the kind of class that will help you channel a tough time into something productive by going inward, digging deep, and finding a focus through a challenge. It is Strong, Resist and Cardio. Transmute stress and anger into power and precision here. 

Beats
This is a TOUGH CLASS from an endurance perspective. To get the most out of it and avoid feeling lost; you need to be a consistent practitioner. We teach the class to a preplanned playlist. There are few to no intentional breaks. Expect an advanced pace with a challenging flow. All levels are welcome but you will need to know how to modify certain series for your body and needs due to the pace. The work is inspired by the music but you may move to the beat of your own drum.


Our schedule is always subject to change. We offer classes that make sense for the population consistently attending. Not every class will be featured weekly.  Class duration is between 45-50 minutes depending on the class and time it is scheduled. Class with less than 4 people enrolled may be canceled. A Late Cancel is within 12 hours of the class.

*BIPOC on the schedule denotes a closed class for Black, Indigenous and People of color ONLY. Please respect this.
