It's a full-body workout for those looking to experience all the amazing results of the Pilates Method, be it muscle strength and stamina, more mobility and less stress, increased muscular range of movement, or just feel-good movement to keep doing the things you love day-to-day!

Best for: All movers, from beginner to advanced.

Reformer Two+

Looking to advance your Pilates practice? In this class, you'll challenge yourself with dynamic exercises such as stepping up and down onto the sitting box, single-leg standing with a dowel for balance, and transitioning onto the platform or carriage. Mastering these movements strengthens your muscles and sharpens your proprioception and balance. We'll introduce kneeling exercises, progressing from low to high kneeling positions. Embrace the challenge as we incorporate plank positions, whether on the mat or briefly on the reformer, to further build core strength and stability.

Best for: Beginner-to-intermediate students. Explore the fundamental principles of level 2 while honing your balance and stability at level 3.

Re-Balance Pilates

Feeling twisted, tight, or slightly off-center? Re-Balance is your go-to reset, designed to realign your body and restore ease and flow. This class combines focused breathwork, reformer work, and foam roller release to target imbalances and unwind tension. This is a powerful class for mindful movers who listen to their bodies and are ready to do the deep work that brings everything back into sync. This is active recovery at its best.

Best for: Perfect for anyone recovering from injury, dealing with asymmetries, or simply craving a deeper connection to their body.

Mixed Apparatus Two+

Mixed Apparatus Two+ builds strength, coordination, and control by exploring movement across multiple pieces of Pilates apparatus. You’ll also be introduced to kneeling work, progressing from low to high kneeling, to better understand which muscles create proper stability. Longer, more connected sequences build endurance and coordination, while plank variations on the mat, Chair, or Springboard strengthen the core and improve full-body control. Start exploring several pieces of Pilates equipment to see how the same movement principles show up in different ways.

Best for: Beginner-to-intermediate students. Explore the fundamental principles of level 2 while honing your balance and stability at level 3, and for those who want to better understand how the Pilates system works as a whole.

Precision movements isolate key muscle groups, delivering a satisfying full-body burn. Elongate and release with stretches that improve posture, mobility, and alignment.

Best for: Intermediate movers ready to push their limits.

Barre + Pilates Reformer

If you want to raise your heart rate, work those legs, and get a full-body endurance workout, this is the class for you! Thirty minutes of traditional ballet “barre” work strengthens and tones the lower body, combined with 30 minutes of Pilates reformer sequences for stretch and flexibility. Set to high-paced, energetic music for a fun, sweaty, and upbeat workout.

Best for: Intermediate movers who want variety.

Good Vibes

Kick off your week with movement that feels as good as it works. Expect a steady pace, minimal cueing, and superset-style sequences—15 to 20 minutes focused on one area (think arms, legs, or core) before shifting gears. Each week brings a fresh intention to challenge your Pilates practice and keep things interesting. You'll build strength, add stretch, and create space for your mind and body to reset. The vibe is energizing, freeing, and all about showing up exactly as you are.

Best for: Intermediate movers who want to flex more and think less.

Arms, Abs + Assets

Focused on areas that tend to be restricted, under-recruited, or poorly coordinated: shoulders and arms, abdominals, and hips and glutes. Each class addresses shoulder mobility and control. Building better core connection through breath. And coordinating balance with hip and glute strength in whole-body exercises. This class is very specific, but still definitely whole-body! The goal isn't simply to work harder, but to work more efficiently.

Best for: Intermediate movers with good body awareness and control.

Classic Intermediate Reformer Flow

The classical Pilates sequence has endured for a reason: it works. This class honors Joseph Pilates' original flow: focused, dynamic, and brilliantly sequenced to move your whole body with power and precision. Taught in a flowing format, this class reinforces repetition not for routine's sake, but for mastery. Each week, you’ll revisit familiar choreography and discover something new about your body, your breath, your control.

Best for: Intermediate movers with a Pilates background who want to go deeper into the method.
