At Sphinx Pilates, we keep class sizes small (max. 4 students) to make sure everyone gets individual attention from the instructor. Our one-on-one approach to group classes allows us to observe and monitor your movement as you progress – something that is not always possible in larger classes.
All of our group mat classes are based on the classical repertoire developed by Joseph Pilates. Because every body is different, we adapt exercises to work within a person’s limitations so that, eventually, those limitations become strengths.
When you participate in one of our group mat classes, you will find that Pilates not only builds strength and support – it can be fun! We teach a modern interpretation of the classical exercises using props such as foam rollers, Thera-Bands®, pilates rings and balls of varying sizes to assist with your movement or provide you with more resistance and challenge. Who knew a beach ball could make you stronger?
At Sphinx Pilates, there’s something for everyone and everyone leaves with something.
Learn the basic principles of the Pilates exercises (repertoire). Find your core muscles. The foundation of strength and awareness you acquire in this class provides you with a solid base to build on.
Continue to develop your core strength and awareness in these classes. The exercises begin to flow from one to another while working the whole body. New exercises and props are introduced to challenge your stability and assist in finding a deeper connection.
This far more challenging class offers a full range of intermediate and advanced exercises for those who are ready! Complex movements and sequences are given to ensure you remain challenged and enthused.
All group classes are 8 weeks in length and require pre-registration.
