There’s a difference between taking a group workout class and receiving training.

One of the things I love most about keeping our classes small is that we have the opportunity to really teach and coach you.

Sometimes class feels almost like a mini workshop. We’ll stop, break something down, demonstrate it, and then give you the opportunity to practice, refine, and apply it. We can give specific individual corrections and hands-on adjustments—and then put it right back into the workout.

You’re still getting a great workout, but you’re also getting a true training experience.

And that doesn’t stop once you become an experienced Pilates student. In fact, some of the smallest technical details can completely change an exercise you’ve been doing for years.

That’s how a Pilates practice continues to grow.

Small-group Pilates isn’t just about having fewer people in the room. It’s about being in an environment where you can actually learn, practice, and improve.

Because when you’re truly being trained—not just instructed through a workout—your Pilates practice can completely transform.

A little “Long Spine” work from Friday’s Intermediate class. I love this group of committed clients! Just missing a couple of our Friday regulars. 💜💚

Long Spine = a lot of core + a lot of hamstrings + a lot of “reaching from your center” 💥

Wondering which Pilates class level is right for you?

At our studio, class levels aren’t just about how challenging the exercises are. They reflect your knowledge and proficiency within the classical Pilates method—your familiarity with the exercises, terminology, equipment, technique, and ability to move with increasing independence and flow—as well as your physical capabilities.

Like learning any method or skill, Pilates knowledge and experience matter.

Swipe through for a breakdown of our Level 1 Beginner, Level 1.5 Pre-Intermediate, and Level 2 Intermediate classes.

New to our studio but not to Pilates?
Your starting level will depend on your previous Pilates experience and familiarity with the classical method—not simply how long you’ve been practicing.

Not sure where you belong?
We’re always happy to help you find the best fit.

We take Pilates seriously…but we also make sure to have fun 🤪

One of the things I love about working with long-term clients is that we can get creative. Once the fundamentals are solid, it’s fun to explore new variations and fresh challenges…and to be a little silly.

Sometimes clients are surprised when we stop telling them exactly which spring to use, which variation to choose, or how to set up for an exercise.

That’s intentional 😏

In the beginning, our job is to guide every decision. But from day one, we’re teaching you—not just the exercises, but how to become a Pilates student.

In my Level 1.5 and 2 classes, sometimes I’ll simply say, “Okay everyone, set up for your Knee Stretch Series,” and then I’ll wait.

Not because I’m trying to make things difficult, but because having to stop and think is often what helps the learning stick. That moment of, “Wait…which one is Knee Stretches again?” is part of the learning process.

Over time, our goal as teachers is to help you make decisions yourself. We want you to recognize what position your body needs to be in, when different spring tension would be best, when an exercise should be modified, or when you’re ready for more challenge.

We want to empower you to make those decisions with confidence 💪🏼

Yes, I know some of you come to Pilates “not to think.” 😉 But Pilates involves a high level of mental participation, and that’s actually one of the things I love most about it. It challenges both your body and your brain 🧠

Learning Pilates isn’t just about learning exercises.

It’s about becoming increasingly aware of your own body, learning to think through the method, and becoming a more independent Pilates student.

As that independence grows, your instructor is able to guide you in deeper, more meaningful ways. And then the sky is the limit!

“I’m new to Pilates, but I’m really fit. Can I start in Level 1.5 or 2?”

It’s a common and understandable question from people who already have a strong fitness or movement background.

The short answer is no…and here’s why 😊

Because our class levels aren’t based solely on fitness. They aren’t simply “easy,” “medium,” and “hard” workouts.

Think of our class levels less like fitness levels and more like levels of learning and mastering a method.

Yes, physical ability absolutely plays a role! But Pilates is also a skill-based method with its own language, repertoire, equipment, set-ups, terminology, and progression.

Learning what “Short Box” and “Long Box” mean, knowing how to set up for an exercise when simply given its name (e.g., “Okay, everyone, set up for Elephant.”), understanding which springs to use, and recognizing terms like the Push-Through Bar are all part of learning the method.

That’s what allows a Level 1.5 or Level 2 class to keep progressing…each class builds on the knowledge and skills students have already developed.

Level 1 isn’t where we determine how fit you are. It’s where you learn the language of Pilates as a method.

Here’s an example…

I’m pretty fit, am advanced at Pilates, and a former professional dancer. But if I decided to start taking yoga classes, I would still start as a beginner because I am a beginner…at yoga.

Pilates is no different.

In Pilates, “beginner” isn’t a measure of your athletic ability. It’s simply where everyone begins learning the method.

Spicing up the good ol’ Ab Series on the Wunda Chair. 🔥

But why? Not just for sh*ts and giggles. 😆 The small surface gives just enough feedback to encourage your abs to keep your upper torso lifted instead of sinking back into the edge of the chair.

Amazing work, Liz and Nicole! 👏

Who else thinks the best part of Teasers is when they’re over? 😂
