Our Classes
L1: Reformer Pilates
This class is perfect for those who are completely new to Reformer Pilates, anyone returning to Reformer Pilates after a long break, or recovering from an injury. In this class we take things much slower and get to grips with the basics in order to set you up with a solid foundation before moving onto one of our L2 classes.
If you're pregnant and less than 20 weeks, you may be able to attend this class if you’ve been doing Reformer Pilates consistently before you were pregnant, but please contact the studio first before booking.
L2: Reformer Pilates
This class is great for those who have some prior experience with Reformer Pilates. This class caters for a variety of levels, so throughout the class you’ll be offered different variations to make exercises less or more challenging.
