What a class with Issy looks like
Issy's classes are built around the reformer, the apparatus at the heart of most of Issy's Pilates practice. Nearly all of Issy's classes use it, and the strong style is the energy most of them carry. The example class is Power Reformer at Upstate South Yarra, which gives a clear sense of the format. Classes run about 45 minutes, so a session is short and direct.
The classes are spread across the day in a particular way. More than half fall in the morning, about a third are around midday, and a similar share take place at weekends. None are in the evening or before 9am. The earliest start is 9:30am and the latest is 12:15pm, with 10:30am, 12:15pm and noon among the most common start times.
Where and when Issy teaches
