CLASS LEVELS & DESCRIPTIONS
BE LIGHT/Level 1 (formerly Slow Flow) (Pregnancies allowed ONLY in this class)
The Be Light class is our slowest and least challenging class. It focuses on recovery and active stretching. It's a great option on days you want to take it easy and feel restored. You will get a full body workout catered to breathing and mobility. If you are recovering from light injuries, it's a great option for you. ***If you have never done reformer Pilates before, we require at least one (but preferably a handful) of Be Light level 1 classes as a prerequisite before taking our level 1.5 or 2 classes. ***
Pregnancies are now allowed in our Be Light classes! Please email or bring in a doctor's note that okay's reformer Pilates for you. It is the student's responsibility to let the instructor know before the start of class if pregnant. It is also the student's responsibility to make sure and follow the instructors modifications for pregnancy. Your safety is our priority.
Be Grounded/Level 1.5 (formerly Intro)
Be Grounded Classes are not for complete beginners. They focus on foundational work but you will be challenged. Please make sure you have enough level 1 classes under your belt before coming to level 1.5 so that you feel ready and the exercises are familiar.
We do NOT allow pregnancies in Be Grounded classes. No exceptions.
Be Expansive/Level 2 (formerly Reformer Plus)
Our Be Expansive Classes are full body, reformer workouts and are our most challenging classes. In order to take this class, you are required to have taken at least a handful of reformer classes at any studio or level 1 or 1.5 classes at our studio as a prerequisite. Be Expansive classes challenge coordination, balance and strength. If you are injured or have other limitations, it is recommended that you stick with our level 1 or 1.5 Classes. We do NOT allow pregnancies in Be Expansive classes. No exceptions.
Be Jump /Level 2 (formerly Jumpboard)
Be Jump classes involve a lightly padded jumping plate to push off of either with your feet or hands. This is considered the cardio of pilates classes. It provides low impact movements to strengthen the body while keeping the joints supported. This is a level 2 class and it moves quickly so please only attend this class if you have done at least a handful of our level 1 or 1.5 classes. We do NOT allow pregnancies in Be Jump classes. No exceptions.
A TIME FOR YOUWe believe working out should be fun!
A time to tune in to your body, breathe, sweat and jam out to some great music. We encourage you to leave your inhibitions behind and take some time out just for you...and maybe share a high five with the person on the reformer next to you. We provide a supportive environment, with a zen atmosphere to help you destress and find your center. Classes are challenging and focus on strength building, flexibility, and balance. |
WHAT YOU'RE IN FORWe combine classical and contemporary Pilates to give you the most effective and enjoyable workout possible. Group reformer classes offer spring based resistance training to build long and lean bodies that are supported from the core. You will get cardio work using the jumpboard, exercises that improve flexibility, and access small muscle groups to tone your body to its full potential. Give yourself 45 minutes for a low impact workout that will change the way you move through your day.

A little pilates knowledge to dazzle your friends withJoseph Pilates created the technique originally as rehabilitative support for injured war soldiers in WWI. The New York City Ballet then adopted the technique as they found it was the best possible training for their dancers. Today, millions of people around the world use Pilates as a way to connect mind, body and spirit. At Be Pilates, we encourage body awareness through movement, offer a modern and chic boutique studio to put you in a happy place, and provide a space to Be light, Be grounded, Be expansive.
