Pilates is a low-impact method of exercise which focuses on full body alignment, mobility and strength. Pilates can be performed on a mat, reformer, stability chair or a cadillac table. Yoga is a mind and body practice. There are various types of yoga which incorporate different poses, breathing techniques and meditation.

Matwork Pilates allows us to utilize our own bodies and additional props to achieve alignment, stability and mobility. Matwork involves you, the mat and sometimes exercise props.
reformer
A Reformer is a type of Pilates apparatus which allows for low impact strengthening that can be tailored to a person’s individual needs and abilities. This versatile machine allows us to challenge and target all of the muscles in the body to help achieve optimal alignment, stability and mobility.
This class is taught by a certified Pilates Reformer instructor who will place an emphasis on proper form and safe use of the machine. We recommend trying a mat work class prior to trying a reformer class, however, it is not mandatory and your instructor will help you get acquainted with the reformer during your first class!
