SMFT Core Benefits 45 (Stage I)

Suboptimal posture, resulting from excessive technology use, ageing, muscular weakness, stress, or past injuries, necessitates prompt and effective intervention through deep core stabilization exercises and focused stretching. To restore optimal posture, concentrate on training the intrinsic stabilizing sub-system (commonly referred to as the deep core) while cultivating a greater awareness of body support in all activities, whether functional or recreational. Each session is carefully crafted to provide a distinctive workout that intensely engages your core and sharpens focus. This program accommodates all skill levels, guaranteeing that everyone can reap the benefits of these vital practices. Core Benefits 45 is a distinctive offering from VE, representing a powerful blend of contemporary postural anatomy training principles intertwined with yogic breathing techniques. (45 min class)

It’s the perfect option for recovery and for anyone looking for a slow, intentional stretch. SLOW STRETCH is accessible to those with limited yoga experience, as well as individuals who face challenges with dysfunctional breathing. (55 or 45 min class)

SMFT Mobility Flow 45 + 55 (Stage I + II)

Are you stretching regularly but still feeling stiff? This condition may be due to two primary reasons: limited range of motion in your joints and postural imbalances that lead to weaknesses and recurring tightness in muscles. Mobility Flow is designed to enhance joint mobility while addressing common postural misalignments through the activation of crucial stabilizing muscles. This flow class expertly blends exercises that promote optimal joint function, ensuring that connective tissues receive the necessary nutrients for recovery and improved mechanics. No prior yoga experience is required, making it ideal for those who prefer a more functional approach to stretching. (55 or 45 min class)

SMFT Reformer Foundations 50 (Stage I + II)

Inspired by the original principles of Contrology and reimagined through the lens of Slow Movement Fitness Training™, this breath-led reformer class prioritises precision, joint health and movement intelligence over speed and choreography.

Using the reformer’s unique spring-loaded resistance, participants learn to organise the body under changing tension, developing deep core support, improved alignment and greater movement efficiency. Unlike body weight training or lifting external weights through space, the springs both assist and resist movement, providing continuous feedback that helps refine stability, body awareness and movement quality.

Expect a focus on diaphragmatic breathing, intrinsic core activation, spinal and joint alignment, and controlled movement patterns that build stability before strength and flexibility. Suitable for beginners and experienced movers alike, this class offers a thoughtful, classical approach to reformer training that honours Joseph Pilates’ vision of complete coordination of body, mind and breath.

SMFT Functional Strength 45 (Stage II)

SMFT FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH 45 is a foundational (mixed gender) strength class designed for those who want to train intelligently — not endlessly. It bridges the gap between mobility-based training and traditional lifting, focusing on the Fundamental Five: squats, deadlifts, chest press, shoulder press, and back row. This 45-minute session combines old-school barbell fundamentals with the modern SMFT system of breath regulation, nervous-system awareness, and movement control. The class structure is simple and focused: 3–4 structured lifts, each supported by targeted breathwork, mobility resets, and recovery phases to improve posture, control, and joint integrity. Built as a stepping stone to SMFT Iron + Breath, FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH 45 develops the foundations of load tolerance, technique precision, and stabiliser strength required for advanced compound and dynamic lifting. It’s ideal for those who want the benefits of strength training in a supported, coached, and intelligently paced environment. (45 min class)

SMFT Strong 45 (Stage II)

Women's Only Weight Training Class. STRONG 45 goes beyond the typical pump class experience. Centered around the principle of Quality of Exercise, STRONG 45 offers a focused and introspective weight training program that utilizes kettlebells, resistance bands, and dumbbells. Each session revolves around 3-4 carefully selected drills, complemented by dynamic stretching to promote muscle relaxation, thereby enhancing strength gains and facilitating deeper, more effective contractions during TUT (time under tension). STRONG 45 cultivates kinesthetic awareness throughout all movement phases (eccentric and concentric), prioritizes alignment, and underscores the importance of breath patterns to foster a more mindful approach to your strength training journey.

SMFT Flexibility + Breath 45 (Stage II - III)

For those who’ve built a foundation of breath awareness and joint stability, this class offers a science-led approach to safe, intelligent flexibility training. Each session explores progressive skeletal tissue adaptation through methods such as reciprocal inhibition, the body’s natural tension-release reflex, and fascial rehydration via long, supported holds. Expect a short warm-up flow, followed by two to three key stretches supported by props to target common tension points such as hips, hamstrings, and chest. Breath-led techniques reduce muscular tension and calm the nervous system, helping the body lengthen without strain. The session closes with guided stillness to anchor relaxation and integration — a restorative yet intelligent approach to developing flexibility and ease of movement. (45 min class)
