Lucas Pilates NYC separates itself by tailoring classes to the needs of each client in every class. Classical Pilates is not a one size fits all modality. Joseph Pilates customized his work to maximize the effects of his system on each unique body and I strive to do the same by offering rewarding and challenging classes for every fitness level. 

​

​

 

Foundations

Pre-Pilates and foundational work. This class teaches the groundwork for your life-long Pilates practice. You will learn the principles of Pilates and how they relate to Joseph Pilates' original work. This class is for anyone new to Pilates or anyone who has taken time off from her/his practice.

​

​

Basic

The next step in your Pilates journey. This class builds on the foundational work, offering additional exercises with continued focus on form and where a client “will feel the work”.

​

​

Intermediate

This class is for students who are proficient in the basic exercises and are ready to dedicate themselves to more challenging exercises and feel ready to deepen their practice.

​

​

Intermediate+

This class is for students who have “mastered” the Intermediate work and feel confident moving into more advanced exercises. It requires a proficiency of the intermediate exercises and a dedicated interest in moving deeper into the work. This class introduces some overhead, twisting and rocking work. This class builds the groundwork for advancing into the full choreography of the advanced mat series.

​
 

Open

A working knowledge of Pilates is highly recommended but this class is for all students. This class can serve as a barometer on where you are in your practice and is modified for all levels, offering modifications for higher and lower levels of intensity for the exercises.

​

​

Advanced

 This class focuses on fluidity of movement and flow following  the classical advanced matwork choreography for advanced students and teachers. This is an “injury-free” class; however, if you have an injury and know your specific advanced modifications, you are welcome to join.

​

​

Senior Focused

No matter how strong or active we are, bodies age. This class focuses on “safe” work for mature bodies, offering modifications for the aging population. This class is also a good option for students who have recently completed PT and are looking for a modified class as they return to exercise.

​

​

Pilates for Runners

Do you spend a lot of time pushing your body in running and not enough time strengthening your core? As a runner, I get it!
This class is for runners who want to stretch, lengthen and strengthen those 
muscle groups often overworked and overstressed in  running while working to build a stronger core.
