Restorative Reformer

A Reformer class designed to restore flexibility, balance, spinal alignment, strength and proper posture, a little slower paced than the traditional class, and a great one at the end of a long week.

Who should come

Ease in gently with this slower-paced, mindful restorative class on the Reformer, ideal for newcomers.

It is a great class at the end of a long week, aimed at reversing the mental and physical stresses of the last five days. Every movement is thoughtfully paced to help you rebuild strength, control and stability.

  • 01 You are new to the Pilates Reformer. Nothing here assumes you have used the equipment before.
  • 02 You are recovering from an injury or illness. Amanda is a licensed physical therapist of more than thirty years. This is exactly the gap she opened the studio to fill.
  • 03 You want to move gently at the end of a long week. Calming for the body and, just as deliberately, for the mind.
