Mat Pilates emphasizes proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and concentration on flowing movements. Pilates conditions the whole body, training several muscle groups at once. By focusing on the quality of how you’re moving, you can re-train your body. It sets you the path to success in whatever you do! Injury recovery, sports performance, optimal health, it’s all there waiting for you on your mat.
Maintaining the principles of Pilates, this class is designed to flow from one exercise to the next using the mat and a variety of props. Each exercise is choreographed with the music to give clients a new perspective on Mat Pilates exercises. It’s Pilates, the Move It way. We recommend taking at least three traditional classes before jumping in so that you won’t scratch your head when we send you into Teaser with a Theraband!
