Guided Glides : Intro to Reformer Pilates (9th Feb)

Fat Wellness Collective presents to you Guided Glides : Intro to Reformer Pilates
Come join us for an introduction session to reformer pilates, specially curated for plus size beginners. 

We put the “Form” in reformer - Pilates emphasizes moving from the inside out. It combines breath, body, and purpose in one modality. The Reformer allows you to get a wonderful workout lying down, taking away any pressure from being upright so you focus on your alignment and joint health, sliding on a carriage using springs to give you varying resistance. Come and learn to merge breath body and mind in this movement method that helps you get strong, full-bodied support by deepening your awareness of daily movements.

Why you should sign up for this Fat Wellness Collective class?
1) Reassuring and patient instructor who paces the class such that the intensity is gradually increased and provides modifications where necessary
2) Longer class time so that instructor can give personal attention to each student from time to time
3) Get to be in community and hang out with other fat folk in a non judgemental space (we vibe check everyone) 
4) Have a group of cheerleaders cheering you on because they understand the experience of navigating movement and wellness in a plus size body
