About Pilates, the Studio and what we offer...
What is Pilates
Pilates is a series of low impact exercises that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's. Helping to build strength, balance, flexibility and body awareness on the mat or the Pilates Reformer, this form of exercise can be done at any age or fitness level.
Reformer
The Reformer uses a moving carriage attached to multiple springs for added resistance. Pilates Reformer classes are a low impact full body workout that can be done at all levels and ability. Sumas Mountain Studios now offers group reformer classes that can accommodate up to five people.
Arc and Springboard
We offer a wide range of classes, including three different levels of classes for both the Arc and Springboard. Arc classes offer a creative and stable way to work your muscles. Springboard classes are a full body workout with various exercises from standing to lying down while using spring resistance.
Specialty Classes
Sumas Mountain Studios offers specialty classes for various conditions including injuries and spinal conditions, as well as
pre and post surgical rehabilitation for knee, hip and shoulder replacements.
