No prior experience is needed. We welcome complete beginners and will guide you through proper form and technique from your very first session.

Classical Pilates is the original system developed by Joseph Pilates and preserved through the lineage of Romana Kryzanowska. It includes over 500 exercises performed on specialized apparatus — reformer, cadillac, wunda chair, ladder barrel, and mat.

Classical Pilates follows the original exercise order and method as taught by Joseph Pilates. It emphasizes the full system of exercises across all apparatus, rather than modified or contemporary variations.
