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.

Sean, a 64-year-old finance manager, was in pretty good shape. Apart from the occasional twinge in his lower back, he didn’t really have any health complaints. But he was aware that with his senior years creeping up on him that he should start to focus on doing all he could to prevent future aches, pains and age-related strains. 

Work/Life Balance?

Sean's job was largely desk-based and he rarely found the time for exercise.
Ironically, when the pandemic forced him to work from home, his work life balance became even worse. 

He knew that he needed to find the right balance between work, rest and play. The only problem was that the gyms were closed and pollution levels in the city were too high for exercising seriously outside.

He knew that he needed to find the right balance between work, rest and play. The only problem was that the gyms were closed and pollution levels in the city were too high for exercising seriously outside.

A quick Google search for online fitness classes introduced him to Laurie and Katrina’s live Pilates classes. Having experience in mat classes over the years, Sean decided to pick up where he left off and give the classes a try.

“The online classes are great and they really took me by surprise."

They are much more rigorous than I expected but that’s fine and gives me a target to aim for. I just go at my own pace. I feel great when we’re finished and much more focused when I get back to my desk. I’d forgotten how Pilates uses more muscles simultaneously and I could really feel how each muscle group was being worked with each exercise, especially my abs and glutes.”

The difference to Sean’s working day has been dramatic. “I’ve realized that I can work and make time for myself at the same time. I’m sleeping better, feel more energized and look forward to Katrina and Laurie’s classes during the week.”
