What reformer Pilates is

The reformer is a bed-like frame with a sliding carriage, springs, straps and a footbar. The springs add resistance or support, so the same exercise can be made easier or harder for each person. At Shift Movement Studio the reformer is used alongside the Pilates chair and the Cadillac, so a class is not a row of people doing the same routine.

Jill teaches the STOTT PILATES method, which is built on five basic principles: breathing, pelvic placement, rib cage placement, scapular movement and stabilisation, and head and cervical placement (Merrithew).

How classes work here

Four people at most. Numbers are kept small to allow for attention and programming based on individual needs.
Mixed equipment. Classes move between the reformer, chair and Cadillac, often with a theme of progression for the class.
Hands-on coaching. Sessions are adjusted to each person as the class goes.
Homework. Each programme comes with practice to do between sessions.
