Mat Classes
Small group Mat classes accommodate up to 8 participants with leveled instruction from Improver to Advanced. Utilizing traditional Pilates techniques alongside modern equipment like resistance bands and foam rollers, these sessions develop core strength, improve posture and enhance body awareness. The structured progression system ensures participants advance safely through technical Pilates movements while benefiting from social interaction.
Reformer Classes
Reformer classes use specialized resistance-based equipment to build strength and improve flexibility. With maximum 6 participants per session, instructors guide clients through precision exercises that develop muscle balance and body control. The progressive program accommodates all levels from beginner to advanced, making it suitable for both rehabilitation purposes and athletic performance enhancement while maintaining proper technical form.
Private Lessons
Tailored private sessions address individual requirements for rehabilitation, prenatal care or sports conditioning. Instructors conduct initial assessments to create personalized programs that adapt throughout the client's journey. This specialized attention accommodates complex medical histories, injury recovery plans and specific performance goals with customized exercise sequences and technical modifications.
Tower Classes
Tower apparatus classes combine traditional Pilates principles with vertical resistance training. The stationary frame system provides unique stability challenges through spring-assisted movements that decompress the spine and improve joint mobility. Available from introductory to advanced levels, these sessions develop functional strength patterns and movement efficiency with technical support from experienced instructors.
Teacher Training
Lisa B Pilates Academy offers comprehensive instructor training covering Reformer, Classical Reformer and Tower techniques. Courses include equipment mastery, teaching methodology and exercise progression strategies. Participants receive instructional videos, training manuals and practical teaching experience under master instructor supervision.
