"Jen has been my Pilates trainer for over five years. During that time she progressed me from a novice who had limited body awareness and no previous movement (dance, yoga) experience to an advanced level student who can now do Pilates without instructor supervision. The physical results of her effort are amazing: she helped transform my posture, corrected imbalances in the way I used my muscles, and made me infinitely stronger than I was pre-Pilates."

SERVICES
All sessions and classes are by appointment only.
Pilates exercises are broken down into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. In the initial sessions, Pilates is taught slowly, with the main focus on proper form and alignment. Eventually exercises are added as strength and proper alignment increases. Then, the focus becomes fluid movement with precision, breath, and control. A basic Pilates class can even challenge those who have had previous Pilates experience because they understand how to work their bodies, use the Pilates equipment, and get the most out of each exercise. Please consider that when choosing your level.
CLASSES
PRIVATE SESSION:
A 50-55 minute session, consisting of one student and one instructor utilizing the Pilates equipment. This session is highly recommended if you have never taken Pilates before, are injured, or you have not exercised in a long time. A private session will provide the opportunity to have the instructor personalize the workout for you. It will also allow you the time to ask the instructor any questions you may have and allows you to learn the language of Pilates in the most effective manner.
DUET/TRIO SESSION:
A 50-55 minute session, consisting of two/three students and one instructor utilizing the Pilates equipment. It is recommended that students interested in duets or trios take private sessions first. A duet or trio will prepare you for the possibility of working out independently in the future. The result of duet/trio sessions produces an understanding of learning the order and spring settings. It is recommended that you supply your own partner, however, we will be able to match you with someone at your level.
GROUP MAT CLASS:
A 45-minute Pilates class that is limited to 4 students. These classes focus on the mat system. The class may include some Pilates props, such as Magic Circles, Bands, Balls, and Rollers. Please consult your instructor when interested in changing class levels. It is important that you attend the appropriate level for your ability. Everybody’s process is different.
GROUP TOWER CLASS:
A 45-minute class that is limited to 4 students. These classes focus the majority of the time using the Studio Wall Unit, or Tower Unit. The tower unit has all the capabilities of the traditional Cadillac equipment. Joseph Pilates created the equipment to help you strengthen your body, allowing you to achieve greater flexibility and control. A private session or Basic Mat Class is required before entering this class. Please consult your instructor when interested in changing class levels.
GROUP MAT AND TOWER CLASS LEVELS:
BASIC:
This Pilates class is for those who are new to Pilates or have less than 3 months experience. A beginner system is taught in this class, as well as some Pre-Pilates exercises and fundamentals. Modifications are given to those who need them. It is important to build a solid foundation in the beginning. Staying at this level for a while is highly recommended. Learning to move from your center, focusing on body alignment, and control are the main focuses in beginner classes.
LEVEL I:
After mastering the Basic level class, this Level I class will introduce more challenging exercises. Previous Pilates experience is a must. Beginning intermediate exercises will be taught at this level. While continuing to focus on body alignment, control, and precision, new exercises are introduced. While perfecting beginner exercises, intermediate exercises will start to be introduced.
LEVEL II:
This is an intermediate Pilates class. This class will focus more on flow, breath, and moving through each exercise without stopping. If you are dealing with an injury, please consult the instructor. You may need to modify a lot of these exercises.
LEVEL III:
This is recommended only for students who have a lot of previous experience and are injury free. This class progresses through an intermediate/advanced series. Be prepared to sweat! The focus is on all 6 principles at the same time: centering, control, concentration, breath, flow, and precision. Advanced exercises will be introduced at this level.
