About Our Classes

Physique Classical-Joseph Pilates, the inventor of this all-encompassing health and fitness regimen, was born in Germany in 1880. His experiences taught him to believe that the (1950's!) modern life-style, bad posture, and inefficient breathing were the roots of poor health. His answer to these problems was to design a unique series of life enhancing physical exercises that help to correct muscular imbalances and improve posture, coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility, as well as to increase breathing capacity and organ function. He was a genius of his time!


Lynsey celebrates his work in the Physique Classical sessions. These sessions are held 3x’s a week to keep his classical work pure and fresh! The goal of these sessions is to maintain the mind/body connection and leave you feeling stronger, centered, and refreshed! You will get the true education of the Pilates Method.

This session involves the Classic, original movement of the Pilates Method. In this class you will work on the principles of Pilates: Concentration, Control, Centering, Breath, Fluidity, and Precision! Level of class: Beginner to Intermediate.

We use small props such as resistance bands, the Pilates circle, and foam rollers.  Lynsey has created this workout to challenge the body in the hard to target areas! I LOVE this session!
