Types of Pilates

Where do I start?

There are several different ways to differentiate one pilates class from another. As an instructor my immediate thought is to differentiate Pilates by schools, or broadly, by classical vs. contemporary.

Of course regardless of the type of class each individual instructor also brings their own flavour to Pilates with their own individual experiences and personality.

• Classical Pilates
• Contemporary Pilates
• Clinical Pilates
• Mat work
• Small props
• Group Classes
• Studio work

Pilates is a fitness system that has a reputation for offering various physical benefits such as improved flexibility, coordination, and increased strength. One of the advantages of this system is that it can involve a wide range of activities. These are often enhanced with a variety of Pilates equipment, including instructional materials, balls, and the Reformer.

One of the most essential pieces of Pilates equipment is the instructional materials. To experience maximum benefits from the system, Pilates exercises need to be performed correctly. If a person is not taking a class, this will be very difficult without some guidance. To assist users in this regard, there is a wide range of books and audio-visual materials available. These often address the various user stages such as beginning, intermediate, and advanced.

Balls are common pieces of Pilates equipment. The Pilates stability ball can be used for many things, such as yoga, physical therapy, and toning and defining the abdominal muscles. Conditioning is achieved when a person uses the ball to engage in a variety of exercises that require balance, posture, and coordination.
