What types of classes do you offer on Erica Bell Studio?
A full library of different types of classes (mat, equipment, pre/postnatal workouts) & tutorials/sample workouts within the Pilates Science Academy are offered to accommodate all levels. From people new to Pilates to seasoned pilates practitioners or teachers, you’ll find something to enjoy. Almost all of the mat classes are all levels welcome as modifications are given throughout the workouts and there are a few classes that don’t require any props besides things you already have laying around your house like towels or pasta sauce jars/soup cans. These workouts are full body and always include a standing, functional warm up (& sometimes an arm weight series) before going into the mat part of the workout. The equipment workouts are sorted by level 1, 2, or 3 and you will need Pilates apparatus (reformer, tower, chair, & other assorted small props) to do these workouts. The Pre/Postnatal workouts are all mat based and accessible to anyone, some feature small props like weights & bands. All postnatal workouts are diastasis/pelvic floor friendly and will aid in the healing process. The tutorials and sample workouts in the Pilates Science Academy are mainly for pilates teachers/students to understand how to apply specific concepts to enhance their teaching skills. I also offer a Pre & Postnatal Certification for Pilates teachers that is a separate, one time cost and includes lifetime access to all content along with a 103 page full color manual.
What is the Pilates Science Academy?
As mentioned above, the content in the Pilates Science Academy is for pilates teachers/students to understand how to apply specific concepts to enhance their teaching skills. The Pilates Science Academy is the first of its kind in featuring tutorials that break down complicated concepts like biomechanics or working with clients with injuries into easily understandable and actionable tips. I’ve taken my 10 years of working with clients with many injuries/pathologies and my knowledge from years of workshops & specialized training (you can read more about my background/certifications here) to create content that picks up where your teacher training left off. The library of sample workouts for clients with specific pathologies will continue to grow and give you a great example of how to put what you’ve learned in the tutorials to work.
What props do you recommend?
As stated above, a few classes don’t require props beyond household items like towels or canned goods. You can find these classes by filtering by “No props/household items”. My top 3 prop recommendations that will allow you to get the most of the mat workouts are: lighter weights (2-3lbs) , heavier weights (5lbs), and a loop band.
What’s included in my monthly subscription?
