Classes & who they suit

Here's how the class types differ and who each one is for.

Mat Pilates

45 minutes

Mat Pilates classes are a great introduction to Pilates, and I recommend everyone that hasn't done Pilates before to begin with Mat Pilates before commencing to the Reformer classes. The mat classes involve a series of exercises that focus on building core strength by using the deep abdominal muscles. We will learn and use the foundation of the Pilates technique for good posture and alignment of the body. Sometimes we will use equipment like Pilates circles and theraband.

Reformer Pilates

The reformer bed is a versatile piece of exercise equipment combining pulleys and springs with a gliding carriage for a challenging and well-rounded workout. The resistance from the pulley and springs develop and enhance strength, core stability and flexibility.

Pilates with Swiss Ball & Circle

advanced

This is a more advance class where we still do some exercises from the mat class, but we will make the class more advanced by using the Swiss ball and circle. This class is not suitable for anyone with injuries.

Is The Swedish Pilates Studio right for you?

Absolute beginners
Mat Pilates is recommended as the first class before moving to reformer. Initial consult helps newcomers understand Pilates basics.
Those recovering from illness or injury
Birgitta has worked with hundreds of clients with injuries and rehab challenges, working alongside physiotherapists.
People seeking small group classes
Studio explicitly offers small, friendly and personal classes.
Maybe not for you if… Maybe not for you if you have injuries—the Swiss Ball & Circle advanced class is not suitable for anyone with injuries.
