Beginner Mat class is a class for complete beginners, introducing clients to the ten basic movements in the Classical Pilates beginners sequence.

We use a wide range of props in the mat class such as magic circle, theraband and hand weights.

Suitable for complete beginners who are injury free, or if you have started with private lessons and are ready to join group classes. Beginner level is recommended if you're not familiar with the Classical sequence and equipment, even if you're experienced in matwork. 

You must start at beginners before moving on to beyond basics and/or intermediate.

Following on from beginners, this level gets a lot more challenging. You will start to challenge your co-ordination and build on your strength and flexibility. You'll learn additional movements in the Classical Reformer sequence, building on what you learned in beginners and preparing you for intermediate.

Mixed Equipment is a class for all abilities, where we use a variety of different equipment, ranging from tower, reformer, spine corrector, foam roller, mat, thera bands, magic circles, weights and foot correctors. We mix and match the classes each week to provide varied and fun class.

Private sessions are designed for people who are rehabbing from an injury, unsure of how to use equipment and want to get familiar with it, or people with a specific need that cannot be met in a group setting.

In these sessions you get a tailored plan for your body and we use all the appropriate equipment in the studio.

This can be done on your own or with a friend for a little extra cost.

This class is not for the faint hearted. Tower is for people of a good fitness. Tower classes will leave you feeling super stretched and 10ft tall. You will build up your strength and flexibility with the support of the springs, doing a variety of different movements. The support of the springs makes more advanced exercises from the Mat and Reformer repertoire achievable sooner here.
