What Barbara teaches
Barbara's classes are all reformer Pilates, and the emphasis is on the basics. Reformer Foundations is a 50 minute class that introduces the fundamental movements, teaches correct form and shows how to use the reformer with confidence. It is designed for people with no experience, so the pace is steady and the focus stays on getting each movement right.
Grip socks are required for every class, and a women only version of Reformer Foundations runs alongside the mixed class for those who prefer it.
When and where classes run
Barbara's classes run in the early evening, starting between 5pm and 6pm, with Friday the day most of them take place. There are no morning, midday or weekend classes listed, so evenings are when to plan a visit.
