In addition to this original method, Ráfaga also offers classic Pilates Reformer classes, for those wishing to begin or return to the basics. The Ráfaga method is available in two formats: an intermediate level and an advanced level, allowing everyone to progress at their own pace and according to their own objectives.

In concrete terms, how does a Ráfaga class work? Even if each session varies according to the coach, the structure remains identifiable. The cardio warm-up mobilizes the Reformer in a rhythmic sequence of exercises. This is followed by around 30 minutes of classic Reformer Pilates, intensified by the use of dumbbells. Finally, the session concludes with a circuit training session designed to raise the heart rate one last time.

Ráfaga Pilates Studio offers a rediscovery of the Pilates Reformer through a complete, demanding and rhythmic workout. The studio is particularly aimed at those looking for more dynamic sessions, who find traditional formats too slow or focused solely on strengthening. However, the range of classic classes also caters for a wider public, from beginners to those who prefer a more gentle approach. A new address to discover in central Paris!
