Reformer

Privileged 2 persons group class to work the Pilates apparatus (ideally in combination with the Mat class to work and get the most benefits from the Pilates System as it was intended by Joseph Pilates).

The Reformer is a brilliant, inclusive piece of equipment. Whether you are a pro athlete, an office worker or new to working out, it will improve your whole body.

Stability is challenged by the moving carriage put into motion, by pushing and pulling with legs or arms against the resistance of the springs, carriage or body weight.

Through eccentric muscle contraction (when a muscle lengthens as it resists a force) the exercises provide resistance and movement variety to help build and maintain strong muscles and bones.

Different parts and dynamics of the body are trained by the Reformer by engaging in different positions as: lying, sitting, kneeling and standing.

This class will focus on:

-          Strengthen: core, back, glutes, legs and arms

-          Flexibility

-          Coordination

-          Posture

-          Balance

 Every Reformer class is combined with one other piece of equipment, to deepen the work that was or will be done in the Reformer. By working on the families of exercises (exercises that have the same physical objective but are presented in a different shape), the neuro-muscular system will recognize and organize movement patterns that will later execute with effortless, control and flow quality.
