Instruction will be detailed and specific to each client. This class is open to new clients who want a deeper understanding of the reformer exercises before they move into another class - or for those current clients who have injuries and are not yet ready to come back to a regular class. This class is open to 4 clients at a time (instead of the usual 6) to ensure appropriate attention is given to each client.
