What Laura teaches

Laura's classes are almost all Pilates, and nearly all of them are described as strong. The focus is on control and precision of movement, with a deliberate pace and continuous tension. Most of Laura's classes ask for some experience, and about a third are open to all levels.

The reformer comes up in about a fifth of Laura's classes, and strength work appears in a similar share. Core and pelvic floor work shows up in about a third of them, and about half carry a focus on attention and steadiness.

When and where Laura teaches

Laura's classes are concentrated in midday and morning, with about a third of Laura's schedule falling at each of those times and only about one in ten in the evening. There are no weekend classes and none before 9am. The busiest days are Monday, Tuesday and Friday.

Most of Laura's classes are 50 minutes long, so a session fits easily into a lunch break or the start of a working day.

Choosing a first class

Align is the most approachable of the three classes in Laura's listings, aimed at all levels with a full body workout built on proper alignment. Control and Sculpt ask for more experience. Control is for intermediate students who already have some Align practice, and Sculpt is reformer Pilates with extra props added to nearly every exercise, for those who have already done several Control classes.
