Four ideas, in the order they tend to matter. Everything on our timetable answers to one of them.
Small classes, real coaching, and a timetable built so that a beginner and a ten-year practitioner can both find their class on the same afternoon.
Stretch and release sessions, unhurried cool-downs and a lounge you are welcome to stay in. Recovery is scheduled here, not squeezed in on the way out.
The café, the lounge, the community mornings, the dogs who come along. Most people who train here know the names of the people on the reformers beside them.
The point is not the hour in the studio. It is the stairs you take without thinking, the flight you land from without stiffness, the sleep that comes easier.
Classes are capped so that the instructor can reach every machine in the room during a set. If you are being coached from the front for the whole hour, that is a different business model than ours.
Our instructors are certified and keep training. What that buys you is correction.
A reformer will let you do a movement badly for a very long time. The point of a coached class is that it doesn't. Expect hands-on cueing, expect your spring load to be changed mid-set, and expect to be given a regression on a day when your body is asking for one.
Trained as a doctor before training as an instructor, and it shows in the teaching — a body gets read before it gets loaded. You are more likely to have your setup changed than to be told to push through a pattern that isn't working.
Book a single session at either studio. If it's your first class, tell us and we'll place you in a slot paced for it.
