What to expect

A typical class will begin with an initial sequence of big movement designed to get the heart rate up. This warm up sequence is followed by targeted strengthening and stretching series designed to very specifically tone and sculpt the body region by region. Using a combination of high repetitions of small movements and isometric contractions, the design is to work a particular muscle or muscle group to fatigue and then immediately follow with a stretching sequence to elongate the muscle after it has been overloaded. The fast paced continuous flow nature of a class also provides a great cardio aspect to the class as well.

In addition to the ballet barre, you may also use small balls, resistance bands, and light hand weights to create safe, fast-paced and intense workout done with an emphasis on alignment and the movement integrity of Pilates.
