what we teach
MAT
-
We offer a range of classes from Fundamentals to Advanced, ensuring you progress safely and at a pace that works for you. Some of our Mat classes follow the classical method, while others take a more contemporary approach—giving you options that suit your experience level and goals.
Our goal is to help you establish a solid foundation, so you can move on to more advanced and challenging movements while reaping the full benefits of Pilates. Mat work is the foundation of everything we do.
REFORMER
-
Reformer classes build strength in all the right places—targeting the smaller, stabilising muscles that are often weak or underused, and retraining your body to move more efficiently. The result? A stronger, more balanced body that moves better in everything you do.
TOWER/CADILLAC
-
These sessions take only six people, making the classes feel very personalised, allowing time for discussion and demonstration where necessary. You'll work standing, sitting, and lying down, using the springs to build strength, improve flexibility, and develop control through your entire body.
With the ability to isolate almost every muscle group, the Tower is an excellent tool for breaking down movements and correcting inefficient patterns. These classes are wonderful in terms of self-discovery and confidence; you will be amazed at what your body can do.
JOE’S GYM
-
You'll move through the classical Pilates apparatus with the support of an experienced teacher who tailors the session to your body, ability and needs on the day. Rather than everyone doing the same exercises at the same time, you'll develop your own practice—building strength, control and confidence through the full system.
These classes are ideal if you want a more individual, studio-style experience, with expert guidance and access to the full depth of Pilates as it was intended.
