Tower classes are highly versatile and can be tailored to accommodate a large range of participants from beginners to the most advanced Pilates enthusiast.

SEMI-PRIVATE PILATES REFORMER CLASS

Reformer classes are limited to 4 participants. These classes vary from being totally on the reformer to a "reformer circuit" class. This circuit can include the Cadillac/tower, mat, barrels, chairs, and small props with the majority of the workout being on the reformer. It is more advanced than a tower class because participants will learn individual equipment settings as well as proper classical transitions for optimal flow between exercises. Instructor pre-approval is required to attend.

SEMI-PRIVATE PILATES WUNDA CHAIR CLASS

SEMI-PRIVATE PILATES TOWER/APPARATUS CLASS*

Tower/Apparatus class is limited to 3-6 participants and gives the instructor the flexibility (based on number of class reservations and overall class level) to teach either reformer/wunda class or tower class. As a general rule, 4 or less students will participate in reformer/wunda class, 5 or more students will participate in tower class. This will ultimately be up to the instructor's discretion in order to fit the needs of all participants. * Classical Pilates is a system that works best when all the pieces of equipment are used to strengthen, lengthen, and tone the body based on individual needs.

SEMI-PRIVATE PILATES TOWER - TRX FUSION CLASS

Tower TRX Fusion class is limited to 3-5 participants. It combines the strengthening and lengthening of a traditional Pilates tower class with TRX suspension training which was designed by a Navy SEAL.

PILATES FOR DRESSAGE SESSIONS

These sessions are tailored specifically for equestrians. They help to develop the independent seat, leg, and hands that are necessary to become a well balanced rider. Pilates for Dressage teaches the rider how to use their body to be effective in communicating non-verbally to their horse. Non-verbal communication between horse and rider is powerful! When the rider's body communicates harmoniously with their horse, their horse becomes a happier, healthier partner. This translates into a awesome riding experience for everyone.

Riding well takes core strength, body awareness, and flexibility. Studio sessions on the reformer and mat are essential in developing the strength, flexibility, and posture needed for a good seat and effective contact. Mounted sessions address posture and level 1 biomechanics for the rider while on their horse at their chosen location.

Pilates for Dressage studio sessions are also available as duets and semi-privates with partner or small group of your choice. Pilates for Dressage mat classes for small groups are also available. Mounted sessions are only available as private sessions at this time.

All Pilates for Dressage sessions are by appointment only. Price is based on session type, location, duration, and number of riders attending. Please contact the studio for more information or to schedule your session.
