Pilates Class Descriptions

Private Lessons
Private Lessons are one-on-one appointments with the instructor of your choice. The lesson is designed to introduce the work to newcomers, for ongoing personal work, advance your personal work, or have a home program designed. Private lessons are 55 minutes in length.

Equipment Group Lessons
Equipment Group Lessons are groups of 5 participants conducted on the Pilates Reformer and adjunct equipment. Each class is taught to any level of student using modifications and challenge work to the choreography of the class. PILATES albuquerque offers equipment group lessons in traditional and physiologically evolved forms. Both forms are equally effective.

Pilates Combo Classes
The method of Pilates is most effective when the mat and the equipment are used in conjunction with one another. This class incorporates both mat and equipment. Each class will be strategically formatted to teach each student proper alignment, balance and core stability for the effect that Joseph Pilates originally intended.

MAT CLASSES

Pilates Mat
Formatted to follow the effective exercises derived by Joseph Pilates. This work is effective for straightening the core system of the body, finding flexibility through length of the musculoskeletal system.

GYROKINESIS®
This method of rhythmic “spinal yoga” incorporates movements of arching, curling, bending, twisting and spiraling of the spine. Corresponding breath patterns help to stimulate the nervous system, open up the energy pathways and oxygenate the blood. Techniques are used to invigorate and re-educate the body to move with fluidity, relaxation and power.
