Intro to Pilates:  A class that concentrates on the fundamentals of Pilates exercise.  A must for anyone interested in becoming involved in Pilates classes.

Beginning Pilates: Are you reaady to leave Intro to Pilates but nervous about taking a "real" Pilates class? This class is designed just for you.  Lots of good review on the fundamentals, with a little more time spent on strengthening exercises.

Intermediate Pilates: Okay, now you have the fundamentals down pat. Still, the idea of taking an "Advanced" class is a little scary. Pilates 2 will still show modifications while challenging you with glimpses of advanced moves.

Advanced Pilates: A class that is geared toward exercisers with knowledge of the fundamentals of Pilates.  The class moves a little faster with less time spent on fundamentals and the showing of modifications.
