At the intersection of tradition and transformation lies a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of Classical Pilates. FLEX Studio proudly presents our Intensive Programs, led by Asia’s preeminent Classical Pilates educator, Heather Thomas. With over two decades of teaching experience, Heather brings authentic methodology and profound insights to these comprehensive training sessions.
Classical Pilates is more than exercise—it’s a sophisticated system of movement designed to create a long, lean, and youthful physique. Through spring-based resistance training on specialized apparatus originally designed by Joseph Pilates himself, practitioners develop better posture and achieve uniform muscular development. FLEX Intensives offer an intimate, 18-hour weekend immersion into this transformative method by offering two levels of progression – Foundation and Intermediate.
FLEX Intensive Foundation: Building Blocks of Excellence
The Foundation Intensive welcomes both instructors and dedicated practitioners eager to understand the sophisticated underpinnings of Classical Pilates. This comprehensive program uncovers:
The architectural principles that form the basis of the Pilates system
Foundational movement patterns and their significance
Historical insights into Joseph Pilates and his innovative equipment
A complete movement catalogue across all apparatus
Essential principles for developing proper form and technique
Through Heather’s instruction and engaging historical narratives, participants gain a thorough understanding of how these foundational elements create a cohesive system of movement.
FLEX Intensive Intermediate: Elevating Your Practice
For those ready to advance their practice, the Intermediate Intensive introduces more complex movement patterns while building upon foundational principles. This level reveals how Classical Pilates truly engages the entire body, with special emphasis on:
The critical role of the posterior body in advanced movement
Development of 360-degree body awareness
Integration of basic movements into complex, multi-planar patterns
Mastery of elevations, rotations, and extensions
Balance and stability challenges across different apparatus
What sets these Intensives apart is their comprehensive nature. Participants don’t just learn movements—they discover how the Pilates system creates neuromuscular harmony and balance between the anterior and posterior body. This understanding transforms basic exercises into sophisticated movement patterns that challenge and educate the body in new ways.
Under Heather’s expert guidance, these Intensives combine rigorous training with an atmosphere of exploration and joy. While the work is demanding, sessions are infused with laughter, storytelling, and a spirit of playful discovery. Participants sweat, twist, bend, and elongate while developing a deeper connection to their bodies and the Classical Pilates method.

The program’s intimate format ensures personal attention and creates an environment conducive to learning and growth.
