Pilates Mat Class and Apparatus Instruction
The Authentic Pilates® method of body conditioning is a series
of exercises developed to create a healthy body, mind, and lifestyle.
This method was developed over ninety years ago and continues to
be an effective and unique system of exercises that strengthens
and tones muscles, improves circulation, improves flexibility, improves
posture and will unite the body and mind.
The Pilates method has a strong focus on the deep core muscles
of the body, the abdominals, buttocks, and lower back (known as
the "powerhouse"). This area is the control center for
movement. Having a strong powerhouse will allow one to perform
daily activities, as well as sporting events without injury, stress,
or fatigue.
Authentic Pilates® method is a mindful activity requiring
much concentration. Focus on the various exercises requires integrating
the mind and body. This connection helps to improve mental and
physical capabilities. It provides a refreshing and energizing
workout.
Whether your goal is to improve overall body condition, tone
muscles, trim inches, stretch tight muscles or decrease stress
or fatigue, our mat classes, based on the teachings of Joseph
Pilates, can help you. Our mat class can also help those with
back or neck pain, orthopedic conditions, asthma, or other respiratory
problems, balance disorders, or chronic pain. Regardless of your
current level of fitness, Pilates can help to improve the body
condition and assist with injury prevention. We offer an introductory
Package for mat work. The 4 sessions package will introduce the
participant to the mat exercises that are performed in the drop-in
classes.
Classes and lessons are taught by instructors that have been certified
by Romana Krysanowska and
Sari Mejia Pace.
Apparatus instruction is also available at Mind~Body.
