I’m in great shape, what Level should I take? If you’re new to Pilates, start with Level 1. You’ll learn how to use all of the equipment, intro exercises and safety protocols. There’s plenty of time to ask questions, goof up, ask some more, repeat things. I do occasionally bump people up a Level at week 5, if you’re catching on quickly.
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2? More exercises! Level 2 has limited weight bearing on wrists.
What’s the different between Level 2 and Level 2.5? The pace of 2.5 is faster than 2. We’ll introduce more weight bearing on wrists. If possibly, bump yourself to Level 2.5 as a prep for Level 3.
What’s the difference between Levels 2.5 and 3? More weight bearing on hands/wrists in Level 3, which also means more advanced exercises. Level 3 has a faster pace than Level 2.5.
Level 4 classes are the fastest pace and include more “up and over” exercises and one arm or or one leg movements. Please don’t register for this class if you an ongoing injury or limitation. When in doubt, check in with me first.
