Pilates 101

6-Week Foundational Pilates Series

Curious about Pilates but not sure where to begin?

Pilates 101 is the perfect place to start.

This educational 6-week series is designed to help you build a strong foundation in Pilates while learning why each movement matters. Rather than simply following exercises, you'll develop the awareness, confidence, and movement skills that make Pilates so effective.

Throughout the series, we'll focus on:

• Breath and core connection

• Alignment and posture awareness

• Foundational movement patterns

• Body mechanics for everyday life

• Building strength, stability, and control

• Understanding how foundational movement transfers to the Pilates Reformer

One of the things that makes this series unique is that you'll learn how the principles practiced on the mat naturally carry over to the Reformer. By first understanding the foundations of movement, you'll feel more confident, capable, and successful as we begin introducing the Reformer in a supportive, manageable way.

Many participants are surprised by how quickly they begin noticing changes—not just in class, but throughout their day. They become more aware of their posture, breathing, and movement habits while feeling stronger, more stable, and more connected to their bodies.

By the end of this series, you won't just know the exercises—you'll understand how your body responds to movement, develops strength, and adapts across different environments.

From there, many participants naturally begin attending multiple small-group classes each week, continuing to build their skills through a variety of movement experiences including:

• Mat Pilates
• Reformer Pilates
• Pilates Chair
• Fuse Ladder
• Springboard

As your confidence and understanding grow, so does your ability to transition into these classes with greater ease and success.

Along the way, you'll continue to:

• Deepen strength, mobility, and coordination

• Build a resilient, responsive core

• Experience the unique benefits of different Pilates apparatus

• Develop movement skills that carry into everyday life

• Become part of a supportive, encouraging community that celebrates progress—not perfection

This is where the work begins to shift.

It's no longer just about learning the movements—it's about trusting your body, moving with intention, and carrying that confidence into everything you do.

Who is this series for?

✔ Those completely new to Pilates
