What the studio offers
The studio is built around Pilates, and the reformer is the piece of equipment most classes use. Classes such as Pilates Reformer, Pilates Reformer Beginner and Pilates Reformer Advanced let people work at different levels, with the resistance set to suit each body. Power Pilates Mat is a floor-based option that works the core, pelvic floor and back through a fuller, more intense sequence.
Alongside the Pilates work, there is a smaller set of yoga and barre classes. Slow Flow and Vinyasa Flow bring breath and movement together, Yin Yoga asks for long, supported holds with blocks and bolsters, and Barre Workout draws on ballet. Yoga Stretch is a longer session that focuses on mobility and release.
Timing and who leads
Most classes fall in the morning, and a large share takes place in the early evening. The busiest start times are 5:30pm, 6:30pm, 7:30pm and 9am, and Wednesday, Thursday and Monday carry the most classes. Weekend classes make up about a fifth of the timetable.
The studio has a dedicated set of classes for specific needs. Ü60 Reformer is written for people aged 60 and over, and Pränatal Pilates Reformer is for expectant mothers who already have reformer experience. The studio has around ten facilitators, with Tamina, Tatti, Anna V., Lea and Fabi among those who lead the most classes.
