How do I begin?

How do I begin with UPSIDE-DOWN PILATES?

How our program works best.Please understand all Pilates studio’s and programs work differently.  Just because you did Pilates somewhere else does not mean you have experienced our process.  If you follow our guidance you will get results.

We recommend that all students start in our introductory solo lesson package of 3 solo lessons.

Lesson 1-  We do a postural assessment which gives us some information, and then we do a movement assessment  which gives us more information.  Because we are dealing with changing movement patterns we need a good idea of what your version of normal.  Then we start learning the basics.

Lesson 2- We review the assessment and look at the pictures we took to see what postural areas we can balance out.  We discuss your plan of action and get started with your program.

Lesson 3- This will be your first full “workout” or movement lesson.  We do not start by hanging you upside-down!  We learn how to breath, how to articulate your spine, and how to use your three dimensional center of support!

We call ourselves Upside-Down Pilates because by going through our program most people learn to move parts of there body they did not know they could move.  Most people only use 25% of the muscles they have.  That leaves 75% of their body unknown territory.  When students start moving in ways they did not know was possible it turns their perception of reality Upside-Down!

After lesson 3 we encourage all students to do 12 solo lessons with us.  We encourage students to attend 2-3 time per week if possible.  After the first twelve lessons we can see if a group setting may be suitable for the student.  We do encourage all students to regularly take one solo per week in addition to a group or two.  Many students have been with us for 10 years now!

Our introductory solo package is a great way to get started with Upside-Down Pilates! If you have a post rehab condition this is where you will need to start! Your first lesson will be much like a meet and greet! Arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to your appointment time to fill out some forms that will help us learn more about you. After reviewing the forms we will do a static postural assessment and a dynamic movement assessment. If time allows we will then begin your study with learning about proper breathing techniques and pelvic mobility and stability.

On your second lesson we will review with you what we discovered in your static postural and a dynamic movement assessment. We will share with you what we feel needs to be strengthened, stretched, and any movement patterns that need to be retrained. We will then get started.

On your third lesson we will continue your study of neuromuscular efficient movement and then offer you the best course of action for you individual needs.

Level 1 Group Classes

Group Pilates Classes are flowing workouts that may incorporate the Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, Arc Barrel, Balance Ball, Foam roller, Weighted ball, Rolling ball, Magic circle, Bosu, and Experiential anatomy. These classes force you to become independent, making you pay attention to your own body placement.  It also makes it financially more possible to come several times per week.   Most of our successful students work with us in solo lessons once per week on a regular basis adding in groups as they progress.
