​

Principles:

​This class serves as the foundation to start a Pilates practice and is ideal for those new
to Pilates or returning to activity. The focus on breath, positioning, and alignment
guides clients as they learn to use the reformer and other apparatus. This class is open
to all clients new to Pilates or new to working out. This is especially recommended for
persons returning from an injury or illness. The steady slower pace provides an
opportunity to learn body awareness, control of breath, and activation of deep core
muscles.
*note all students should be cleared by a physician and have a note ready to provide
studio.

 

Fundamentals:

In this class students are starting to use and build control with the learned skills of alignment, breath, and stability to form the necessary base for exercise progression. This class will always welcome Level 1 and Level 2 students who need or want to revisit.

Fundamental Students:

• Are learning to stabilize before moving; are building control and appropriate muscle recruitment.

• Understand the importance of breathing and are beginning to coordinate breath with movement.

• Understand the concept of pelvic positioning (neutral pelvis/anterior tilt/posterior tilt) and can adjust the position of their pelvis as cued by the teacher.

• Begin to remember exercise names and set up.

​

Level 1:

For those students who have mastered the fundamentals are able to move with purpose at a moderate pace and have confidence in their body awareness in space.

*note owner permission required prior to attending level 1 and is based on safety and performance. Level 1 is earned.

​

Level 1 Students:

• Know/recognize most of the fundamental Pilates exercises by name and are familiar with their corresponding equipment setups.

• Have built up stamina to work at a quicker pace with less need for cues from the instructor.

• Are moving in flexion and extension exercises, as well as side-bending and rotation exercises.

• Know how to modify exercises for their own bodies if needed. (Note: Aplomb teachers are always committed to keeping clients safe when exercises don’t fit; it’s important for clients at this level and beyond to know their bodies and how to adjust.)

​

Private Classes:

We strongly recommend private classes to those who have medical issues, injuries, and/or for those who are unable to maintain the Fundamentals (alignment, breath, stability, and control in a group class.

​

We also reserve private sessions for students looking to develop their practice at a higher level. 1 on 1 time offers tailored and individualized challenge.
