Beginner Pilates: Foundations (4-Week Series)
with Brenda
This is an event series

Feb 3–24, 2026 | Tuesdays | 8:00–9:00 AM
Led by Brenda | Small-group instruction | Beginner-friendly

If you’ve been curious about Pilates but didn’t know where to start, this is your on-ramp.

In this four-week introductory series, Brenda (our classical Pilates instructor) will guide you through the six key principles of classical Pilates:
Control • Concentration • Centering • Precision • Breath • Flow

You’ll learn how to move with intention, build strength with support, and understand what your body is doing so you leave feeling confident (not confused).

This series is for you if...

  • You’ve never taken Pilates (any style of Pilates) before

  • You want a step-by-step, structured approach

  • You’re looking to build core strength, stability, and posture

  • You prefer a small group so you can ask questions and get coaching

What you'll walk away with

  • A clear understanding of the Pilates “why” (not just the moves)

  • Better alignment + core connection you can feel right away

  • More control and stability in everyday movement

  • The confidence to continue into regular Pilates / movement classes

What we'll cover (week-by-week)

Week 1: Foundations + Principles
Breath, centering, basic alignment, and how to find your “power center.”

Week 2: Control + Stability
Core support, pelvic/spine organization, and building strength without tension.

Week 3: Precision + Flow
How small adjustments change everything, then linking movements with smooth transitions.

Week 4: Integration
Put it together into a simple, repeatable sequence and leave with your next-step plan.
