Pilates studios pride themselves on smaller class sizes, and defined class levels. This enables instructors to assist participants with the subtleties of the exercises. Defined class levels helps participants to select the most appropriate workout for their fitness levels and orthopedic health.

A well trained instructor utilizes the following 6 principles:

1. Breathing – With every movement, there is a conscious effort to maintain flow of breath
2. Centering – We strive to be focused and mindful about being present
3. Control – All movements are deliberately executed
4. Concentration – Helps us improve our learning skills
5. Precision – We focus on the quality and not quantity of each exercise
6. Flow – Continuous movement and smooth transitioning from one exercise to the next
