Need a little R&R? At Morning Light Studio our Restore Reformer Pilates classes are the perfect active recovery and mobility focused class.
Drawing from Yoga and mat Pilates, we’ll move through some simple activation work and deep stretches that will enhance mobility and flexibility.
Restore Reformer Pilates also helps to prevent injury and reduces stress by bringing emphasis to the breath and movement while encouraging you to move at a slower more nourishing pace.
Reformer Restore classes are suitable for the first time student, someone with injuries, to even the most seasoned practitioner looking to ground and move at a slower pace.

What to expect in a Reformer Pilates class
In Reformer Pilates you’ll be performing most of the moves on a Pilates reformer, which is a machine that’s comprised of a carriage that moves back and forth along a track. The carriage is connected to springs of varying resistance, which provide the weight for the exercises you perform.
We also use a combination of body weight exercises and small additional equipment, such as balls, resistance bands and light weights to build lean and long muscles and tone the entire body – all while working up a sweat with a little dose of cardio.
If you are new to reformer we suggest starting with our Beginner or Restore class to ease you into it. Your instructor will guide you through the class and provide support where needed.
Each class ends with a Savasana (Relaxation) to recalibrate your nervous system and leave you floating out the door.
What to bring to Reformer Pilates
Bring grip socks, water bottle and leave your shoes at reception. Opt for comfortable and form-fitting clothing.
If you don’t have a grip socks – don’t worry, we have plenty that you can purchase at our reception. Please note you will not be able to use our reformer machines without wearing socks.
