JOSEPH PILATES RECOMMENDED THAT A CLIENT SHOULD GET IN AT LEAST 4 PRACTICES A WEEK TO FEEL AND SEE THE BENEFITS OF PILATES. HIS TEACHINGS DID NOT INCLUDE GROUP LED CLASSES WHERE THE TEACHER TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO NOR DID HE RELY ON PRIVATES. HE SUPERVISED SEMI-PRIVATE SESSIONS AND WORKED PRIVATELY WITH A CLIENT WHEN NEEDED. HIS GYM WAS ALWAYS OPEN FOR CLIENTS TO COME IN AND WORKOUT INDEPENDENTLY. IT IS WHAT INSPIRED OUR OPEN CLASSES AND WHAT OUR STUDIO IS ABOUT.
WHEN YOU FIRST COME ON BORED AT JADE YOU WILL BE TAKING PRIVATE SESSIONS WITH US. WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH ALL THE CLASSICAL EXERCISES AROUND THE SYSTEM (MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC, CHAIRS, AND BARRELS) ALL THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR YOUR OWN BODY AND PERSONAL PRACTICE. WE DO GUIDE YOU IN A WAY WHERE YOU BECOME INDEPENDENT IN YOUR OWN WORKOUT. YOU WILL HAVE YOUR OWN LISTS TO REFER TO WHICH WILL INCLUDE NAME OF THE EXERCISES, THE ORDER, NUMBER OF REPETITIONS, AND SPRING TENSIONS (WHEN ON THE REFORMER). WHEN YOU ARE READY YOU WILL THEN BE INVITED TO JOIN THE OPEN CLASSES.
ONCE YOU JOIN OPEN CLASS YOU WILL BE PRACTICING WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN LEARNING IN YOUR PRIVATES INDEPENDENTLY UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF A TEACHER. THE HOUR WILL BE SHARED WITH OTHER STUDENTS WHO ARE ALSO WORKING ON THEIR OWN PROGRESS. CLASS LIMIT IS 4 PEOPLE ONLY SO DO NOT WORRY YOU WILL STILL EXPERIENCE THAT FULL DETAILED ATTENTION YOU HAVE IN YOUR PRIVATES. WE WILL BOOK YOU PRIVATES ON A WEEKLY BASES TO FINE TUNE ANY CORRECTIONS YOU GOT IN THE CLASS, TO HELP YOU GO DEEPER INTO YOUR PRACTICE AND ADD IN NEW EXERCISES FROM THE SYSTEM AS NEEDED.
