CURRICULUM & BIOMECHANICS

Master the Architecture of the Reformer

Reformer Foundations is our signature entry point into the Velora method. Designed for first-time Reformer students as well as experienced practitioners returning to refine their technique, this 50-minute session demystifies spring resistance, carriage control, footbar placement, and strap mechanics in an unhurried, supportive setting.

Session Structure & Movement Focus

We begin with diaphragmatic three-dimensional breathing and pelvic-clock organization to establish a stable lumbopelvic center. From there, your instructor guides you through foundational footwork, supine abdominal series, bilateral arm work in straps, and supported hip articulation—ensuring you leave feeling lengthened, centered, and confident for any class on our schedule.

STUDIO ARRIVAL & PREPARATION

What to Expect Before Stepping on the Carriage

Please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled session for personal spring calibration and posture alignment check-in. Certified grip socks are required for all Reformer sessions (available at the studio reception desk). Chilled electrolyte water, cold-pressed eucalyptus towels, and private changing suites are complimentary.
