Pilates Hour

Are there Pilates exercises that you struggle with and end up avoiding because they’re uncomfortable? Do you have clients who are not fans of every Reformer exercise you share with them?

This week, Shelly will be breaking down the Swan on the long box on the Reformer to provide insight on how to prepare for and execute the movement in the most efficient way. This will be an experiential session where you will see the Swan in action. You will finish the session empowered with new knowledge on this challenging exercise.

If you have a reformer on-hand, you are welcome to participate on your own, but it is not necessary.
