WHEN DID YOU JOIN: January, 2024
FAVORITE CLASS: For someone who was scared to try the reformer for a long time, I’m amazed at how much I am enjoying the reformer flow classes these days!
FIRST IMPRESSION AT FLX MOVE I found the reformer classes intimidating, was so happy when they introduced a gentle format geared towards beginners and people like me who have physical limitations.
WHAT CAN YOU SHARE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE?
Andrea and her team of instructors are highly skilled, have worked hard to create a welcoming community. We are lucky that she decided to bring FLX to Skokie!
HOW HAS YOUR MIND /BODY CHANGED?
I am more confident, as someone with chronic pain am managing so much better as I maintain flexibility and strength.
TIPS FOR OTHERS WANTING TO JOIN?
Just do it!
TRY OUR NEW CLASS FORMAT
We are excited to introduce Pilates Reformer classes including new format: Yoga Flow Reformer
Find Your Center. Lengthen Your Reach. Reset Your Mind.
Experience the best of both worlds in this 45-minute signature fusion at FLX Move. Our Yoga Reformer Flow takes traditional hatha and vinyasa yoga postures and reimagines them on the Pilates Reformer.
By using the carriage as a moving mat and the springs as a supportive "assist," you will find a greater range of motion and a deeper level of stability. This class is specifically programmed to:
-
Open & Expand: Use the pulleys and straps to safely deepen stretches in the hips, shoulders, and spine.
-
Move with Mindfulness: Focus on the "meditation in motion" that occurs when breath meets the rhythmic glide of the Reformer.
-
Balance & Align: The resistance of the springs provides immediate feedback, helping you find perfect alignment in every warrior pose and balance sequence.
