Ubud Pilates Beginner

The beginner class is a complete body workout but it is also a foundation class. The stronger your foundation the higher you can build. The principles of Pilates are frequently revisited and constant cueing is given. You may have heard the terms “core strength” and “mind-body connection,” in these classes you will learn what they really mean and why they are so important. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself randomly correcting your posture throughout the day, or catching yourself without your core engaged while driving.

Intermediate

You’re feeling good now. You’re noticeably stronger & more flexible, your body is more or less doing what your mind is telling it to and people have even started to comment on your appearance. You are ready to graduate to intermediate. This is where the fun starts. More load is added, the pace of the class increases and the movements are progressed to the next level.

Advanced

Congratulations, you’re doing great! Time to step it up again. Familiar movements are progressed, new movements are introduced and still more load is added. Considerable core, arm and shoulder strength must be united and balanced through mind-body awareness to successfully complete an advanced class.
