What to expect in your first class
-
We supply water, mats and towels, so no need to bring your own. We do require sticky socks on the equipment—bring your own or you can buy or rent a pair from us. We like to see your alignment, so form fitting clothes is a plus.
Park in the driveway and walk to the tiny home to the west (right) of the main home—by the pond. There’s a small gate to welcome you.
-
During your first few classes, you’ll learn a new way of breathing and connecting to your "Powerhouse." You’ll focus on the exhale and use your abdominals to push all the air out of your lungs before starting another repetition. Joe Pilates would call this an, "internal shower." Your Powerhouse are muscles you use to connect, initiate and perform the exercises, you will hear cues in class on how and when to connect to your powerhouse. Don't worry we are here to help you turn your Powerhouse on!
-
Our goal is quality over quantity. You’ll learn to stretch, strengthen and move your body in very intentional ways while concentrating on your breathing and Pilates connections and concepts. It’s not about sweat or repetition. It’s about balance, control, and precision of your alignment while doing flowing movement.
-
We focus on giving your unique body what it needs for healing. Pilates is an individual practice, so in class you’ll notice modifications to allow for recovery after injury, deeper challenge, or just a different pace or practice.
-
We have classes that are beginner as well as advanced, contemporary and HIP. Pilates uses all of your muscles as you go through flexion, extension, rotation and lateral movement of your spine in all planes of gravity. Pilates is a movement system, with a goal behind each exercise in the choreography.
Our goal is to empower you by connecting you to your powerhouse in any level or style of class you enjoy the most.
