Level 1
Our Level 1 classes are designed to simplify Pilates while still challenging your body. These workouts are great for those just starting with Pilates or for times when you need a more restorative practice to ease sore muscles or a cluttered mind.
When is it best to move on to Level 2?
You know your body best! Trust your instincts. The good thing is, if you find yourself following a workout that is too challenging, you can always take a breather and note what was hard and what skills you think you need to work on. Or you can turn the workout off and choose another!
If you need any help, please don't hesitate to reach out to Kala.
