Please check with an instructor before joining the advanced class. This class is a lot of fun, but it is fast-paced and it will not be a good experience if you do not have the fundamentals mastered! At a minimum, advanced students should be able to perform long stretch, long back stretch, and short spine with confidence. Additionally, advanced students are expected to have a solid understanding of Pilates terminology and equipment.
Please do not book the advanced class just because other classes are full, this puts your safety at risk and compromises the experience of everyone in the class.
