What the studio teaches
Pilates is the heart of this studio. The studio's own description says pilates is a system of controlled exercises that conditions the whole body, blending strength and flexibility with particular attention to the core. Nearly all of the classes follow that approach, with a few that lean toward strength or mobility and stretch.
The range of formats is wide. Alongside mixed-level and beginner classes you will find reformer work, a jump board class, a cadillac class and circuit pilates. A therapeutic stretch class and a functional strength pilates class are also on the schedule.
How the week runs
Most of the week begins in the morning. About a fifth of classes start before 9am, and the most common start times are 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am. Midday classes make up about a fifth of the schedule, and evenings are the least common at about one in ten.
Monday, tuesday and friday are the busiest days. The earliest class starts at 6am and the latest at 6:30pm, so the shape of the day suits those who want to practice before the day gets going.
Who leads the classes
The studio has about ten facilitators, and the ones who lead the most classes include Barbara, Heide, Lauren, Laura, Catherine, Ashley Curran, Tamara, Sarah, Julia and Katrina. The website presents the studio as personal and small, so the teaching reads as close and individual.
The studio's own site also describes a Virtual Bodhi option and an app for booking sessions, which give a way to practice or reserve a place beyond the studio itself.
