Vintage Pilates
​Autonomy

Jay Grimes, Sandy Shimoda and Vintage Pilates international alumni filled Bodywork & Pilates Maui studio for 3 glorious days of Grad Camp, continuing education and fellowship. This is a  Vintage Pilates video of our daily VP Class, the workout is a beautiful example of autonomy, similar to the way it was in Joe Pilates original 'Contrology' studio in NYC, where all students were expected to workout independently.

Open Studio classes at Bodywork & Pilates. What are they and who can participate? 

Independence builds confidence, improves focus and students acquire a better understanding of Pilates, so I strive to set the same example of autonomy, offering Open Studio time in addition to Private lessons. After a few Privates you should be able to join the Open Studio, where you'll have the opportunity to take control of your workout and still receive personalized attention from the teacher who goes around the room assisting each person as needed. Working out independently is the heart & soul and ultimate goal of every student, new or seasoned, at Bodywork & Pilates. 
Prerequisite:   Your utmost focus takes precedence over your skill level so this class is OPEN TO ALL LEVELS. However, participants must know enough Reformer and/or Mat exercises to keep moving independently during class as well as know the safety and set up of Gratz equipment.
