We are not a progress through Levels led studio. Our classes are designed to support our clients exactly where they are at. The goal is not to progress through the different classes, but to find the class that suports your body, your goals and where you make progress.
**Essential** is or Signature class to build strong, confident movement. Progress is not about movng out of this class it is about building essential skill, essential mobility and essential stregth.
If you have been advised to take up Pilates by a physio, Osteopath or other health care professional this is the class they will be recommending. This class is suitable for those new to Reformer Pilates, those developing and building their Pilates practice, those with minor spinal pathologies, and injuries. We will work with you so you get the most out of your body.
**Essential Plus** builds on the complexity of Essential, with faster transitions and less options with in exercises. You need to know all the Essential exercises, their positions and how to safely get in and out of them. For Essential Plus you must be joint pathology and injury free. This class builds on skill, balance and coordination already learned in the Essential repertoire.
**Intermediate** is a high demand class with complex choreography, fast transistions, limited adaptations which you need to modify yourself. This is about challenging the body and is not suitable if you injur easily or have any joint pathologies or limitations of movement.
Pilates only works if you are in the right class for you! If you want better results, safer movement and enjoyment please choose the class that suits your body and your needs. If in doubt please ask your teacher after class or email me Lisa, lisa@pilates boutique.co.uk
