Find order in the chaos: curate your own strong, flexible foundation with Joseph Pilates's original work, Contrology, taught with a contemporary biomechanic's lens.

In this Reformer/Tower class, you'll be introduced to foundational Contrology concepts and exercises that the rest of the system builds upon: Footwork, Long and Short Box exercises, Long Stretch series, Elephant, Stomach Massage and more. Please attend at least five Contrology I classes before advancing to Contrology II.

If you're experienced on the Reformer and the order, this is your space, too, to refine the foundations and principles of your own practice. The basics become profoundly advanced by layering in more principles such as precision, concentration and control.

Reformer/tower classes use reformer, tower, mat and other tools for a challenging, creative, mindful movement experience. I teach all my classes with a restorative movement lens—alignment and clarity matter.

We follow Joseph Pilates' original order of exercises, and the principles of breath, centering, concentration, control, precision and flow to guide the class.
