Welcome to class!
In every group mat class, we follow the Pilates mat repertoire and I teach each individual exercise at 2 or 3 different levels of difficulty. Roughly speaking, Level 1 is beginner, Level 2 is intermediate, and Level 3 is advanced. As we move through the repertoire together as a class, every student gauges their own ability and performs each exercise at their own level. Our goal as a class is to get a great workout as we move through the repertoire with some flow.
For new Pilates students, even Level 1 exercises can be challenging because they require movement patterns that most of us (even really fit folks) have probably not been practicing. Every body can learn and benefit from these fundamental movements, and the best way to do that is by trying out the Intro to Pilates Mat class.
So if you have never taken a Pilates class before, take the Intro to Pilates Mat class first - it will get you off to a great start on your Pilates (/health/fitness/wellness) journey! It’s also beneficial for Mat+ regulars to occasionally take the Intro class, just to recenter and maybe pick up a cue or two that didn’t click the first time around.
I look forward to welcoming everyone to class!

Intro to Pilates Mat
In the Intro to Pilates Mat class, you will learn and practice posture basics and movement fundamentals that will support you in Pilates class and in everyday life! These are exercises that improve spinal mobility and stability, get you building functional core strength, and help you develop awareness of your own posture and movement habits. Class is 45 minutes long and has a maximum of 6 students. If you’ve never taken a Pilates class before, try this one before jumping into Mat+. Also a great class to attend week after week if you’re looking to build core and back strength.
Mat +
Bring your brain, body, and curious spirit and let’s level up our fitness (and posture) together in Mat+! Joseph Pilates designed and built dozens of apparatus and gizmos to help his students reach their highest fitness potential. In Mat+, we follow the Pilates mat repertoire (a complete workout in itself!), peppered with mini-apparatus and gizmos, like Joe’s toe gizmo, the Magic Circle, and contemporary props like the foam roller. Class is one hour long with a maximum of 6 students.
Don’t see what you want, when and where you want it?
How about I bring the Pilates class to you? We can do a customized one-on-one session or you can get a few friends together and I’ll create a class just for you and your group, delivered straight to your door. Actually, more likely delivered to your bonus room or garage.
