Levels Explained

Fundamentals Improvers Intermediate/Advanced Advanced/Classical
Fundamentals

A fundamentals class is ideal for total beginners or those seeking mainly therapeutic exercise with a lighter challenge level. If working with a specific health challenge it is highly advisable that you seek a quick consultation with the teacher before starting a group class. The fundamentals of Pilates; alignment, breathing, centring etc should be revisited occasionally by all practitioners but are how we all begin our Pilates journeys.

The fundamentals are something all practitioners should revisit regularly. It is in the precision and quality of movement that the greatest results are achieved. It is a highly uplifting experience to explore the fine details of the method. It is how we discover our weaknesses and limitation and make meaningful change in our anatomy over time. We must work on the fundamentals to improve how we feel in our own bodies and move in our daily lives.

Improvers

Improver practitioners are those who are enjoying ongoing Pilates training and therapeutic exercise. They are confident and aware of their own personal challenges that may require some adaptation of class content to suit their needs. Challenge level in this class is moderate and options to increase and decrease difficulty are always available to every client. A variety of small equipment always on offer in this class.

The middle of the road, improver is a good all round level for most fit and well clients. Starts with releasing the mind and body through stretches, practice our fundamentals but we take it up a notch by working on some of the classics and the class will build to feeling more like a dynamic workout as well as therapeutic. Roll ups are practiced in prep or full versions and we also introduce the series of 5 in here. You’ll come out feeling great and walking taller.

Intermediate/Advanced

At this level less time is spent on therapeutic work and more time challenging yourself and exploring the bigger movements. Rollovers and rollover preps are a regular feature here as we start to integrate more of Mr Pilates Classic repertoire. Alternatives are always available to those who may prefer lighter or more challenging option.

This level is getting a wee bit bolder. Although we still work on our limitations and how to overcome them with precision and releases, we are really seeking to push ourselves a bit towards a more flowing and dynamic workout. This is a level for finding those mighty challenges to the anatomy that the classical material offers and dipping your toe into the old man’s repertoire to see how it feels.

Advanced/Classical

This is the most advanced weekly group class on the menu, full classic workshops are often held at the weekend with reduced numbers for more studio space and more time scheduled to allow for warm ups and discussion of the work. Experienced practitioners up to intermediate level very welcome in this class and will be offered support to take their training to the next level. A full run through is a regular feature but not every week. If in doubt contact the teacher directly.

Without this repertoire there probably would not be an Iain Dunn Pilates today. The work is inspirational, structured, exhausting, genius and slightly bonkers at times! It really is Mr Pilates great gift to the world. Featured in ‘Return to Life’ 1945 and the only lesson plan a teacher really needs. Working on the classic mat is as tough as it gets. Featuring all the biggies; the side bends, the jack knives, the corkscrews, it's the rollercoaster workout, designed to heal, by the man himself. The most important rule is have a great laugh while doing it!

It's even easier if you are using a mobile phone. Just download the mindbody app, look up and add Iain Dunn Pilates , select the session and your booked.
