​

This class level suits beginners, beginner improvers, those with restrictive but self managed pre-existing injury or pain. 

​

Improver Mat

With previous experience of Pilates, this class suits the practicing improver with minimal restrictions to movement, good body awareness, reasonable balance, weight-bearing ability, coordination, and control.

Moves can be modified to accommodate some manageable injuries or pain levels, depending on either medical advice or prior discussion with the instructor.    

If you have never done any Pilates you should ideally start with some Mat Pilates before progressing to Reformer.

If you have practiced Mat Pilates previously and would like to try Reformer, please sign up to a Reformer Induction. This is a guide to Reformer machines and introduction to foundation reformer moves.
