Pilates Studio & Apparatus Class Descriptions

Pilates Studio Mat Class
The pace of this Mat Class is more dynamic and the emphasis is on fluidity of movement. Exercises adapted from the apparatus, arm weights, magic circle, and wall exercises may all be included.

Magic Circle Mat Class (40 min.)
The Magic Circle Mat uses the resistance ring throughout the exercises to challenge your strength and stability. The Magic Circle intensifies the effort and effectiveness of the workout by helping to hone your form and dig deeper into the Powerhouse!

Prenatal Class
Prenatal Pilates class is designed to promote good posture and spinal alignment, easing the strain and tensions involved with a changing body during pregnancy. Taught by Vlada Sheber, Pilates Program Director & Certified Core Connections® Pilates Instructor, the class will teach the basic principles of Pilates with modifications to accommodate all stages of pregnancy and levels of fitness.

Pilates Ballet Barre Workout
Whether you have studied ballet for years or have never stepped foot in a ballet studio, Pilates Ballet Barre Workout is for you. This conditioning program was designed by Pilates Program Director and former Ballet Austin dancer, Vlada Sheber. The combination of a Pilates class with a ballet barre will provide the perfect opportunity to build core strength and increase flexibility. Consistent attendance will result in improved posture, better balance and a longer, leener body that will have you feeling and looking your best.

Reformer Class (Limit of 7 people)
This dynamic class is what Pilates is all about! A wonderful way to supplement your private session workouts at group class rates.

Cadillac Class (Limit 7 people)

This class helps with strength training by integrating your trunk, pelvis and shoulder girdle while emphasizing proper breathing. Correct alignment of your spinal cord and pelvis with the incorporation of smooth flowing movement allows you to access each part of your body.

Pilates Apparatus Stretch (Especially great for men!)
This course combines Pilates stretches with Pilates apparatus work. Each class starts with gentle stretching. The workout builds in intensity as it progresses, adding the apparatus work towards the end. The first part of the class takes place at a ballet barre and uses Pilates props such as balls and rollers. The second part of the class takes place on the Pilates reformer and tower.

Pilates Apparatus Descriptions

Cadillac
The Cadillac (also known as the Trapeze Table) is one of the most effective and versatile pieces of exercise equipment ever to be engineered. The Cadillac was originally devised by Joseph Pilates to rehabilitate bedridden patients back when he was working as a hospital orderly. The apparatus has evolved a bit since the makeshift bed spring days, but its inspiration is apparent and it continues to be a bridge between exercise and physical therapy.

Chair
Designed to strengthen muscle groups not easily reached by more traditional techniques and equipment, Chair workouts focus on upper and lower body strength and conditioning, and enhance stability, body control and balance.

High Barrel
Combines ladder rungs with a barrel surface on which stretching, strengthening and flexibility exercises can be performed.

Wall Tower
Wall Tower is free-standing, giving you the flexibility of using it with a Reformer or a mat. Gives a three-in-one exercise system: Reformer, mat station, and Tower. A tremendous variety of exercises can be performed on this versatile fully-feature equipment.

Reformer
Studio Reformer is the traditional Pilates apparatus. For 30 years, the world's most respected Pilates instructors have used and recommended the Balanced Body Pilates Studio Reformer.
