What Lena teaches
Lena's classes are reformer Pilates, with a clear focus on the apparatus. Most are listed as first class ever, so the sessions start from the basics of the carriage, the springs and the footbar. Each class runs about 50 minutes, long enough to build the movement slowly and to finish with a sense of having worked the body evenly.
The work is practical rather than abstract. Expect controlled, sensation-led movement that asks you to notice how the spine, hips and shoulders respond to resistance from the springs.
Where and when to practice
Lena's classes are held at My Pilates Studio in the South End. The studio is where the classes gather, so a visit there is the way to practice with Lena in Boston. The schedule clusters around noon, which suits a break in the working day.
Because the classes come in a handful and nearly all start at midday, booking a spot early is a sensible habit for anyone who wants a particular day.

Are Lena's classes good for beginners?
Yes. Many of Lena's classes are listed as first class ever, which means they are built for people who have not practiced Pilates before. The reformer apparatus is the main focus, so the work is guided and paced for someone new to the equipment.
When do Lena's classes run?
Lena's classes fall almost entirely at midday, with noon as the earliest and latest start. Mornings, evenings and weekends are not part of what Lena leads here, so a midday break is the natural fit for these classes.
