Pilates is steady and effective, with exercises that flow one after the other.
The exercises start at a level suited to all participants in the class and steadily progress through the session and the term. Participants move on a level when they feel strong enough and when their technique enables it. Some will benefit from a basic level of an exercise for some time, whereas others will work through to the higher levels more quickly. Participants progress at their own pace.

A typical MULTILEVEL PILATES class is 1 hour and looks like this:

Set-up / Warm-up
This section is usually performed standing up. We mobilise all the major joints and includes balance exercises.

Main Exercises 
These are performed in many different positions:
Standing
Hands and knees
Kneeling upright
Seated on the mat
Lying on the front, side, or back

Closing Phase
This may include dynamic stretching, but the class will always finish with a stabilising movement.
