Classes & levels
Know exactly which room you're walking into
Four formats, described the way we'd describe them to a friend — including who each one is for and when you're ready for the next.
Where to start and how to progress
- 1 · Start Reformer Foundations Everyone starts here — the intro offer is 3 Foundations or Flow classes for $49.
- 2 · ≈ 10 classes Reformer Flow When the vocabulary is yours, the sentences begin. Most members live here.
- 3 · When Flow feels calm Deep Form Heavy springs, five-count lowers, six reformers. Ask any teacher when you're ready — they'll tell you honestly.
- 4 · Any time Private Sessions The fastest way in, the gentlest way back, and the way through plateaus.
Level 1 · 50 minutes · max 8
Reformer Foundations
Your first 10–15 classes. No experience needed — ever.
Foundations is where every Quiet Form practice begins — even if you've done mat Pilates for years. We take the pace down until the machine makes sense: how the springs load, where your breath goes, what a neutral pelvis actually feels like under moving resistance. Nobody is left guessing at the back of the room, because there is no back of the room — eight reformers, one teacher, names learned by week one.
What to expect
- Spring settings explained before every exercise, not shouted mid-set
- Footwork, hundreds, leg straps, and short box — the classical spine of the work
- Hands-on adjustments only with your consent, asked at the start of class
- A pace that lets you ask questions out loud
Good for
- Complete beginners
- Returning after injury or a long pause
- Mat practitioners meeting the reformer
Taught by Mara, Priya and Sofie · Drop-in $42 · packs from $35/class
Level 2 · 50 minutes · max 8
Reformer Flow
After ~10 Foundations classes, or with prior reformer experience.
Flow assumes the vocabulary and works on the sentences. Transitions tighten, sequences run longer, and the spring changes come quicker — but the intent never shifts from precision to exhaustion. This is the class most members live in: strong enough to feel it the next day, calm enough that you leave with more energy than you arrived with.
What to expect
- Continuous 50-minute sequences with minimal reset time
- Full-body classical order with contemporary variations
- Options offered in both directions — scaled down and scaled up
- A finishing two minutes of stillness. Non-negotiable, much loved
Good for
- Graduates of Foundations
- Experienced reformer students new to us
- Anyone building a 2–3×/week practice

Level 2–3 · 55 minutes · max 6
Deep Form
Comfortable Flow students. Six reformers only — ask us if unsure.
Deep Form is our answer to 'but is it a workout?' — five-second lowers, heavy spring settings, and holds that find muscles you forgot you were ignoring. It is deliberately capped at six so the teacher can watch every rep of every person. There is no music and almost no talking. There is, however, a lot of shaking.
What to expect
- Eccentric tempo work — five counts down, one count up
- Heavier spring loads with deliberate progressions week to week
- Long isometric holds and single-side sequences
- Silence, mostly. You'll understand by minute ten
Good for
- Strong Flow regulars wanting load
- Athletes cross-training for strength control
- Anyone who finds fast classes chaotic

1:1 · 55 minutes · one-to-one
Private Sessions
All levels — the fastest way to learn, and the gentlest.
Privates are how many members begin — especially anyone working around an injury, a pregnancy, or a decade at a desk. Your teacher builds each session around your body and keeps written notes between visits, so the work compounds. Privates are also how our strongest students break plateaus: an hour of undivided eyes finds what a group class never will.
What to expect
- A 15-minute movement history conversation before your first session
- A written plan that carries between sessions and into group classes
- Tower, chair, and small props alongside the reformer
- Scheduling around you, including hours the group timetable doesn't cover
Good for
- Injury recovery and prenatal/postnatal work
- True beginners who want a runway before group classes
- Plateaued regulars
