Pilates
Balance Yoga + Pilates offers small group pilates equipment classes.
Like yoga, pilates is a mind and body practice that emphasizes the importance of proper breathing during movement and can improve both strength and flexibility. They are wonderful compliments to each other and they even share some similar exercises! The focus in pilates is on the core of the body so that the rest of your body can move freely. Pilates has many of the same goals in mind, but one major difference between pilates and yoga is that in addition to mat work, different equipment can be incorporated like the reformer, chair, and cadillac.
With no more than four students in a class, our small group pilates equipment classes provide personalized attention to help you meet your wellness goals. While our classes are mixed levels, they presume prior pilates equipment experience and we do require prior experience to join our group classes. If you are new to the reformer or our studio, please contact us so we can determine best next steps for you. Most clients enjoy several private sessions and work with their instructor to prepare them for our group classes. If you are interested in trying pilates for the first time but not quite ready for private sessions, our Pilates Mat Fusion class is a great way to get a sneak peek into what pilates is all about!
