Persoonlijk aandacht in kleine groepen
In Pilates gaat het om de details –als je je oefeningen correct uitvoert, ga je je lichaam op een totaal nieuwe manier ervaren. Maar doe je de oefeningen verkeerd, dan ben je eigenlijk gewoon bezig met het mindless herhalen van een beweging.
Smartbody werkt in kleine groepen (gemiddeld 6 tot 10 studenten, met een maximum van 12) en legt veel nadruk op gepersonaliseerde feedback. Dit is volgens ons de enige effectieve manier om de voordelen van groepslessen volledig te ervaren.

Pilates BasicsThis is our most basic open mat class. The content of the class varies depending on the teacher, but usually includes the “Basic Ten”: The Hundred, Rollup, Single Leg Circle, Single Leg Stretch, Scissors, Swan, Swimming, Side Kicks Series, Spine Twist and Plank. You are a beginner if you attend this class and you will still be instructed on when to stay “neutral”, when to “imprint” and on how to execute a proper Swan. If you have done some random Pilates throughout your life, but still feel hazy about what’s going on, this class is for you!
Intermediate and advanced – mat classes
This is the next level up from Pilates Basics. Intermediate classes are characterized by quicker pacing and the introduction of more “flow” – the stringing of one exercise after another. Most Intermediate level classes are likely to put you through the punishing “Ab Series”, as well as to tackle inversion exercises like the Rollover and the Corkscrew. In order to keep the pace of the lesson nice and snappy, we want you to stay with Pilates Basics until the “Basic Ten” are solidly under your belt.
The Springboard is basically a wall unit with different springs attached to it. The springs are characterised by different tension levels, creating a broad repertoire of exercises for your abs, back, arms, legs and entire body. Springboard classes “feel” different from mat classes given that the student is working with resistance, but the movement principles are the same. This is a great class to try if you’ve heard a lot of talk about Pilates “apparatus” without shelling out the money for a private lesson.
