PILATES

Pilates is a precise series of exercises developed during WWI for bedridden soldiers, Pilates focuses on building strength, flexibility, and coordination throughout the body with a particular emphasis placed on the trunk and even more specifically on the core (spine awareness, abs, lower back, hip flexor, and glutes). Joseph Pilates' method of rehabilitating and conditioning the body (which he referred to as The Art of Contrology, in tandem with deep abdominal breathing, from the inside out is a smart physical and mental challenge for both the general population and those with special needs.

Some of the first people to use Pilates were legendary dancers Martha Graham and George Balanchine. More than just exercise, Pilates are a series of controlled movements to engage one's body and mind.

Please join us Sundays at 11AM for our mat-based Pilates Class. Certified Pilates Instructor brings to the class several years of practical Pilates and teaching experience; as well as a diverse background in Vinyasa yoga and several other levels of group fitness instruction.

VINYASA YOGA

This class uses Hatha yoga poses performed in the Vinyasa tradition, with each movement initiated by each breath taken. Beginning with a vigorous series of sun salutations, we flow into a progression of increasingly challenging standing, balancing, and seated poses, and backbends as we make our way to a moment of restorative internal meditation on the breath in final relaxation. Beginners and advanced practitioners are welcome.

STRETCHING & ALIGNMENT CLASS

Stretching and Alignment can transform the way your body looks, feels, and performs. It is a safe, sensible exercise system that will help you look and feel your very best. No matter what your age or condition, it will work for you.

Stretching and Alignment is the best workout after a long day of work. It reduce stress and helps to strengthen muscles that we don't usually put in movement during those long work days for people with office jobs or computers, where the back is in a bad position during at least 8 hours a day while they work. It is perfect for those who drive or sit in traffic a lot, and for people who spend a lot of time on their feet. This workout will relax and strengthen the back, legs, and even the feet.

S&A Class is great after working out: In conventional workouts, weak muscles tend to get weaker and strong muscles tend to get stronger. The result is muscular imbalance - a primary cause of injury and chronic back pain. In this class the entire body is conditioned, even the ankles and feet. No muscle group is over-trained or under-trained.

Stretching and Alignment helps you build long muscles and flexible joints - elongates and strengthens, developing muscle elasticity and joint mobility.
A body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be injured.

Creates an evenly conditioned body - Your entire musculature is evenly balanced and conditioned, helping you enjoy daily activities and sports with greater ease and less chance of injury, invaluable for injury recovery, sports performance, good posture and optimal health.

Stretching and Alignment (S & A) training is a fitness regimen that improves muscle control, flexibility, coordination, strength and tone through physical and mental conditioning. S&A combines stretching and strength exercises in a refreshing mind-body workout - one in which you will feel results immediately after the class. There will be an intense focus on deep muscles and the spine (The most important structure of the body - the nervous system). The entire body is thoroughly trained during this class.

S&A training is created from a complementary group of different techniques including ballet technique, Pilates, yoga, Limon and Graham dance technique ending in a method that aims to create a balance in the body. S&A can transform the way your body looks, feels and performs. It builds strength without excess bulk. It develops and advances body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement. Also improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion. It can even help alleviate back pain.

This class will really improve your mind-body connection. Strength and alignment gets your mind in tune with your body. By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, you become acutely aware of how your body feels. Proper breathing is essential. Correct breathing helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency. Last but not least, learning to breathe properly can reduce stress.
