ABOUT REFORMER PILATES
|
Opening in Spring 2021, our Bishopston studio hosts nine Reformers to help take your movement practice to a whole new level.
The Pilates Reformer (which looks like a bed with springs, ropes and pulleys) is a traditional piece of Pilates equipment designed to provide an elevated focus on stretching out your muscles, improving form and developing strength and endurance through the entire body. Whether you are brand new to Reformer, have tried a few classes already or are an experienced mover, we have designed a range of Reformer classes suitable for all abilities. |
OUR REFORMER CLASSES
Group sessions of up to 9, with a range of classes designed with different degrees of difficulty in mind, ensuring you’re suitably challenged but never over-stretched.
