Description
Master the essential building blocks of Pilates in our carefully structured Fundamentals class, designed specifically for beginners to the reformer. This foundational course introduces you to Joseph Pilates' core principles of concentration, control, centering, flow, precision, and breathing while teaching you how to safely and effectively use the reformer apparatus. Each 55-minute session focuses on proper form and alignment as you learn classical exercises that will become the foundation of your Pilates practice. Our experienced instructors guide you through the reformer's spring resistance system, teaching you how the moving carriage, pulleys, and springs work together to both support and challenge your body. You'll develop an understanding of how to engage your powerhouse – the deep core muscles that initiate all movement in Pilates. Fundamentals emphasizes quality over quantity, with detailed instruction on breathing patterns, spinal alignment, and the mind-body connection that makes reformer Pilates so transformative. You'll learn to move with control and precision while building the strength, flexibility, and body awareness needed to progress safely in your Pilates journey. Perfect for complete Pilates beginners, those new to reformer equipment, and anyone wanting to establish proper technique and understanding of Pilates principles. Use this as a refresh whenever you want to check back in with principles or focus on a new technique! Level 1 - Beginner. Grip socks are mandatory and can be purchased at the centre.
