Grip socks are recommended for safety.
How the Class Starts
We begin with breathwork and spinal mobility to warm up your body and help you connect to your core.
During the Class
Expect a mix of:
Strength work
Controlled movements
Gentle stretching
Core engagement
Balance
Mind-body connection
Your instructor will offer modifications for beginners and progressions for those who want more challenge.
Will You Be Sore?
Most people feel a pleasant level of post-workout soreness — especially in muscles you forgot you had!
This is normal and a sign you’re building strength.
After Class
Take a moment on the reformer to reset your body and mind.
Most clients leave feeling taller, calmer and more energised.
