About the studio
Our bright studio is friendly and welcoming with a warm boutique atmosphere.
We are equipped with Reformers, Cadillac, High Chair, Wunda Chairs and Barrels.
Our Reformer Classes focus on Classical Pilates. We include mat work, weights, magic circle and standing exercises.
Classes may be beginner, intermediate or advanced depending upon the group.
These classes are not for anyone with any pain, health issues or injuries.
We kindly ask that you inform us if you have never done Classical Pilates before.
Our clients make time in their schedule to come to classes. If you have any pain and you cannot lift up your head, move your arm, lift your legs and do many movements without pain, you should not come to our Reformer Classes. It will affect the entire class.
If you have any of these issues, book privates first to learn how to modify before taking our Classical Reformer classes.
Private Lessons are ideal for the strong beginner to experience the full Pilates Method as intended by Joseph Pilates. Over time you will become familiar with all the apparatus.
Private lessons are also designed for any conditions or issues to move slower and focus on restorative movement.
If you are in good shape, feel free to sign up for Reformer classes but if you’re body is tight, you have not been moving/exercising in some time or in general need a slower environment to restart your fitness routine, please come in privately first.
Please note, if you have any injuries, suffer from pain or a health condition, we recommend you start with private lessons only if you have doctor’s approval. We can modify your workout to suit your needs.
Please make sure you tell us this information prior to your appointment.
ABOUT JORDANA
Thank you for considering Roc Pilates. Whether you are a Pro or new to the method, I believe Pilates has something for everyone. I have been teaching for over two decades in NYC and Beacon, and have been a teacher trainer, mentoring Pilates Teachers for over 15 years. I am proud to have taught people from around the world of every nationality, age, gender and condition. My approach is let’s just start and see what we can do today! One of my favorite testimonials is from the wonderful actress Joanna Cassidy (she was in one of my all-time favorite movies Blade Runner). She perfectly sums up what it’s like to workout with me!
"JORDANA IS COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE, COMPASSIONATE, DISCIPLINED, INNOVATIVE, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND A PURE JOY TO BE WITH. SHE HAS UNLEASHED MY INNER JOCK, AND I ADORE EVERY MINUTE OF MY WORKOUT WITH HER! THAT'S THE SHORTEST DESCRIPTION OF MY GORGEOUS PILATES TEACHER JORDANA HERMAN. I COULD GO ON AND ON AND I WILL END WITH, I AM SO BLESSED AND LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND HER, AND YOU WILL BE TOO!” - Joanna Cassidy
