We’ve expanded our CoreAlign schedule to include three levels, making it easier to find the right place to start—so you can keep progressing as you gain experience. Whether you’re completely new to CoreAlign or ready for more challenging work, there’s now a class for you.

Benefits of CoreAlign include upright/functional movement training, posture, balance, and gait improvement, and core stabilization.

COREALIGN LEVEL 1

CoreAlign is unlike most of the equipment in the Pilates studio—you’ll spend much of class upright, working with two independently moving carts that respond to how you shift your weight, step, push, and pull.

Level 1 gives you time to learn how the equipment works and become familiar with its foundational movements.

Expect coordinated stepping patterns, standing and floor work, and plenty of instruction as you learn to work with the moving carts and resistance.

Who this class is for: Anyone who wants to try CoreAlign. No previous Pilates or CoreAlign experience is required.

As with all of our group classes, you must be able to get down to and up from the floor independently and comfortably use stairs.

COREALIGN LEVEL 2

Once the basics of CoreAlign are familiar, Level 2 gives you more ways to use them.

You’ll work with longer sequences, more varied positions, and movements that ask you to coordinate the two moving carts while changing direction, shifting weight, and working against resistance.


Classes move at a steadier pace than Level 1, with less time spent introducing the equipment and foundational exercises.


Who this class is for: Clients with Reformer experience can begin here, even if CoreAlign is new to them. Clients without Reformer experience should first take Level 1 and progress with their teacher’s recommendation.

COREALIGN LEVEL 3

Level 3 takes familiar CoreAlign work and makes it more complex.

Expect longer combinations, quicker transitions, and exercises that ask more of your strength, balance, coordination, and ability to manage the moving carts independently.

There’s less time spent breaking down familiar movements, allowing the class to spend more time exploring advanced variations and more involved sequences.

Who this class is for: Clients who have been regularly attending Level 2 CoreAlign and are comfortable with the equipment, common exercises, and pace of class.

Amy, a 61-year-old mature student, had finished her studies and was about to embark on an exciting new career in art restoration when the pandemic hit. 

“I was so disappointed."

"I was due to join a small team of restoration professionals at my local museum, but due to COVID restrictions, the museum had to close to the public and non-essential employees. 

I was bored, frustrated and if that wasn’t enough, an old back injury came back to haunt me.”

Amy, fueled by her need to cure her boredom and her back problems, took her search online to find a remedy. There, she came across Laurie and Katrina’s live Pilates sessions and decided it was worth a try. If anything, it would be a way to add some interest to her days.

“Well, what can I say? The online classes have been a lifeline for me, both mentally and physically.”

“Being able to move along with Laurie or Katrina is great as I can really get a feel for the movement and see whether I am doing it right. This is the first mat class I have ever taken and I was quite nervous before my first session, but I needn’t have been!” 

The Classes Keep Me Going

After a few weeks of completing 2-3 classes a week, Amy started to notice a significant improvement in flexibility and mobility and realized that she couldn’t remember the last time her back had aggravated her. She’s also noticed a loosening of her hips and can roll up from the ground to a sitting position so much easier.

“The small but significant steps you make with Pilates just keep you going and aiming for more. I’m amazed at how such focused exercises can have such a transformative effect on my overall health and wellbeing. I have more energy, my posture has improved and I even feel like I am moving with more grace. 

And I’m keeping in touch with my new museum friends over Zoom. We can’t wait to meet in person when we can!”
