Schedule last updated 11/14/2009. Group Mat Classes are small in order to give each client enough guidance to understand the technique behind each exercise!
All new clients must take at least one introductory class before beginning mat group classes or private sessions. In the intro class the client is taken through the warm up, in addition to a couple of beginning exercises, while learning the pilates basic principles of alignment.
Intro Classes are $15
Many clients ask how long they will be considered a beginner... Beginner's classes start with basic fundamental exercises. Each exercise will be explained in detail every session including when and how to breathe with each movement, what the pelvic position is and how to execute each movement with proper technique and alignment. As soon as a client demonstrates improvement and control of the essential exercises he or she may begin attending intermediate classes. Usually new clients gain a clear understanding of the basic principles of alignment and beginning essential exercises after about 12 weeks of classes, although this is different for everyone.
The Intermediate stage begins with zeroing in on and perfecting the essential exercises, utilizing neutral pelvic placement as well as incorporating tools and increasing the challenge. Intermediate level exercises involve a lot more strength, coordination and focus per exercise. Mastery of Intermediate level exercises will happen with consistent practice and could take a year or maybe more! There are lots of Intermediate exercises and modifications!!!! Intermediate clients will be permitted to begin Advanced level exercise when they have demonstrated efficient control and strength of most Intermediate exercises. Only a handful of clients will work hard enough to begin Advanced exercises. Clients can begin Advanced classes at the instructor's discretion.
*Pre-Natal Mat Class is a small group class to prepare mothers to be for giving birth and recovering quickly postpartum. We focus on strengthening the inner most abdominal muscles such as the Transversus Abdominis with gentle ab exercises, focusing greatly on pelvic floor work. The class also includes much needed stretches for the tense pregnant posture as well as learning how to breathe deeply and coordinate exercise with breathing. The class is for any pregnant woman who is looking to strengthen their body in preparation for pregnancy and birth. It is best to begin in early pregnancy.
