Level 3

Level 3

The biggest difference in our Level 3 workouts is that they include Roll-Overs (laying on your back with your feet overhead.) There will also be fewer physical instructions, challenging your autonomy and allowing you to enter a "flow state" with your practice. Long-time Pilates practitioners relate this flow state to having meditative qualities.

Please don't be intimidated. These workouts are perfectly accessible if you've been doing Level 2 comfortably for some time. How do you know you're ready? If you start to become bored with Level 2!

Please note these exercises can ALL be modified and still beneficial. Watch the trailer below before diving in on some quick tips and for a more comprehensive deep dive into our Classical Pilates visit these tutorials to learn more: https://quietbodiespilates.vhx.tv/classical-pilates-tutorials
