3 Class Intro to Mat Pilates with Lesley Logan

Welcome!

So, you’re curious about Pilates, huh? I’m happy to help you get started!

I’m Lesley Logan, and I’ve been teaching Pilates around the world for 11 years now. After completing my 600-hour mat training and two higher level masters programs (one with a man who studied directly with Joseph Pilates himself) I wanted to build something that you could take with you wherever you go, so I started offering these online classes. Whether you’re in the studio, at home or in your hotel room, I know you’ll love them.

This 3 class introduction to Mat Pilates course was designed for beginners who are still learning the exercises and how they should feel in your body. You won’t need any fancy equipment, and the classes are just under 15 minutes long.

DM me if you have any questions!

WHAT DOES CLASS LOOK LIKE?

Below is a 5 minute sample clip of one of Lesley’s weekly online mat classes. The 3 beginner classes will look like this.

3 QUICK CLASSES TO BUILD YOUR FOUNDATION

LEARN THE PILATES BASICS

Pilates might seem overwhelming if you were taking a class and they are just calling out the names of the exercises. Well, this course will bring you up to speed in just under 45 minutes.

CLASSES ARE SHORT

You won’t have to set aside too much time to begin building your Pilates foundation. These three classes are just under 15 minutes each.

TAKE CLASS ON ANY DEVICE

Tablet? Phone? Desktop? No problem. You can easily login and take class on any device at a time that fits your schedule.

IT’S ONLY $39 ON PURPOSE

My goal is for everybody to take Pilates, and I wanted to make sure that price wasn’t a reason not to sign up. (Yes, that’s a double negative.) That makes these only $13 per class!

CLASS 1

Welcome to your first Pilates Mat class! In this class we will focus on finding your center and your seat. Introducing a lot of the basic Pilates exercises and shapes and doing preps that you can incorporate in any Pilates class when you’re not ready for the next variation.

Here’s a list of the exercises we’ll be tackling, with links to videos and explanations for each in our free tutorials section. Note that some covered in the intro class are prep versions of the full exercise. Prep for the 100, 100 (legs down variation)1/2 Roll Back, Roll Up PrepSingle Leg CircleRolling Like a BallSingle Leg StretchDouble Leg Stretch (legs-in variation)Swan prepSide leg kickPlank, Forearm Plank or All Fours.

CLASS 2

Now that you’ve done the first class, this class will repeat some of the exercises you learned already and will continue to add on. We will flow through the exercises you are repeating and take our time exploring new exercises – always giving you the opportunity to repeat an exercise that feels good to you in place of one you may not be ready for yet. These exercises will help strengthen you for our next class and for the classes you take beyond today.

In this second class we’re going to review all the exercises from the first class, but will also learn Elbow SlipCriss Cross PrepSpine Stretch Forward and Shoulder Bridge.

After this class you’ll be able to try out an all-levels Pilates class and feel confident that you can keep moving even if an exercise is not yet right for you!

This third class will incorporate everything from class 1 and class 2, but we will also be learning Single Straight Leg Stretch (with modifications)Double Straight Leg Stretch (with modifications)SawSide Kick SeriesTeaser PrepKneeling Side Kicks and Seal.

LOVE POTION NO. 9

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

It’s the month of love! What better way to show love to ourselves than by giving ourselves a little extra time for some much deserved stretching? Every ninth exercise will be an opportunity to work on our flexibility. Does this sound familiar? Yes we did do this class last year… this time we’ll be using our Pilates Pole. (a swiffer handle or yardstick make excellent substitutes.)

See you in class,
Tami

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, pole and a Mat!

HI BACK

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Too often people think Pilates is an ab workout. OPC members know different. But, something I love is how Joe Pilates really emphasized the strength of our backs. One connection we need with our backs is our arm back connections!

The stronger your back the stronger your life is! And isn't that why we do Pilates, to make our lives easier!

Props: Dowel

See you in class,

LET IT GO!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let go of all expectations and see how you connect best this week!! A no-prop, then prop class to explore your best connection this week. We'll start with just our bodies, then incorporate a variety of props like the Theraband, Ball, Barrel, and Magic Circle for playful movement and deeper engagement. For Reformer, we'll use some props, but we'll play with springs to change things up.

Feel free to substitute props with what you have on hand!

See you in class,
Rachel

TUCK IT?

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Is Neutral pelvis a thing? If you've never heard that YAY! If you have, this weeks class will hopefully expand your mind and your practice. This weeks class we are going to explore what our pelvis is doing in each exercise. And, for some bodies in some exercises it might even feel tucked!

No props needed just you and your hips!

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

Online Mat, Reformer, Tower/Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

In this month's class, we're focusing on changing our perspective when it comes to the exercises we love to hate on. We'll tackle these exercises by strategically combining them with other exercises. By pairing them we hope you’ll discover new ways to connect with the intention behind the movements. Who knows, you might even learn to love them!

Props needed:
Mat: Magic Circle
Reformer: Magic Circle and small ball
Tower/Cadillac: no props
Wunda Chair: no rops

See ya in class,

BREATHIN

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, TOWER/CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Joseph Pilates was big on breathing!

However the topic is from Ariana Grande song "Breathin" - a love song to her breathing: "Some days, things just take way too much of my energy, I look up and the whole room's spinning - You take my cares away!"

A lot of exercises do not have an instruction around breath. In this month´s workouts, we’ll focus on using our breath to find strength, connection and flow. Enjoy and remember to have fun!

Props needed:
Mat: none
Reformer: none (just Box, Non-slipperly pad & Pole)
Tower: none
Chair: none

See ya in class,
xx-LL

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

LET'S DANCE - TRANSITIONS ARE EXERCISES TOO!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Have you ever wondered why there is an order for the mat and reformer? Our Pilates practice can have an element of cardio, stamina, and endurance. How? By dancing with our mat and reformer. Knowing the order will turn our mat and reformer into our dance partners, so that our practice today can be more engaging and help you get more out of the session.

This will also be good for our cognitive function by memorizing the order. Knowing what comes next can help prepare the mind and body to connect the exercises so you can see how one exercise builds to the next exercise, as well as see repeating shapes so you can always return to a previous, fundamental exercise so you can continue dancing through today’s workout.

Ready to dance through your workout today?

See you in class,
Christine

UP, UP, & AWAY

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

We are all going to feel like Super Humans after this month!!

Whenever I’m in a hard exercise (for me) where I’m holding myself up with my arms and reaching my legs away I picture myself with super human strength!!! I can do ANYTHING! It makes me smile and helps me stay STRONG.

This month our exercise is Up Stretch and when you think about it - reaching your legs away and staying strong over the carriage may feel a lot like flying!

We’ll be focusing on stabilizing our strong cores while staying equally balanced in our arms and legs. We are giving you some amazing building blocks by merging strength and stretch in all directions. You are going to get a little bit of everything that you can use to connect to your Up Stretch (and even your Roll Up and Knee Stretches Off).

Chair: Please have a foam roller and a balance pad available. We are going to challenge your balance safely.
