Pilates Offerings
Today’s the day to begin a practice that will bring about consciousness, mobility, posture and strength. In every session at A Beautiful SurpriZe, we work this practice to bring balance to your physical structure as well as your mind. Class size is capped at six people to ensure proper technique and execution. The teachers will know your name. You will be nurtured. Come experience the feeling of a private session in a small group setting.
We also offer private sessions and bodywork for those needing more care. Together, with your instructor, you will be on the road to improved health and wellness.
Our newly launched virtual offerings allow you to take your classes and private sessions with you, wherever you are.
Studio Classes
Cardio – Tone – Jump!
Get your cardio workout on the Pilates Reformer with our hardcore Cardio – Tone – Jump Classes! The Jumpboard allows you to spring off your feet while lying on the Reformer, creating a fun cardio workout that’s easy on your joints. The high repetition, high intensity class incorporates jumping throughout an intermediate/advanced Pilates Reformer workout. For a full body treat, we will pair it and intertwine with some arm, core, leg, glute, back toning exercises on Reformer and/or Tower.
Mat
Our mat-based Pilates class focuses on strength, stability, posture, proper breath control and flexibility. Each class will work to balance all muscle groups’ strength and flexibility, with an emphasis on challenging the core muscles with each movement. Classes will be taught using slow, controlled movements. Modifications are suggested for beginners or for those with physical limitations and is suitable for all levels. Mat Pilates is a challenging yet safe method to lengthen and sculpt your body and to feel increased agility in your everyday movements.
Reformer Flow
The Reformer utilizes spring resistance to create challenge at times and to provide assistance at other times. Suitable for all levels, this class incorporates a flowing transition from one exercise to the next with minimum spring changes, consistent movement and a new appreciation for what your body can do.
Foundational Reformer Flow
Foundational Reformer Flow is designed for the client who has not tried Pilates and needs to learn the fundamentals on which to build their practice. This class is for the clients who think they “can’t,” and it will be A Beautiful SurpriZe that shows you that you can. Modifications will be given for those with physical limitations. This class is a great way to start and to watch the transformation in how you look, and more importantly, how you feel.
Tower + Arc
This class is a total body resistance workout using Pilates principles. Focus on control of movement, this intermediate class incorporates all things Pilates, often including the tower, arc barrel, and various props. You’ll increase your flexibility, strength, and balance. It’s the perfect class to combine with the mat and reformer classes.
Barre
Barre will tone and lift muscles using very small and controlled movements using only body weight. Tracy Mallet, a prima ballerina, created this form of exercise to fuse the Pilates and ballet world when she discovered Pilates and it was the only thing that healed her.
Expect to improve posture and your back side amongst everything else head to toe.
