Pilates

Pilates exercise is a mind/body method that focuses on strengthening the core, abdominal, back and buttock muscles. The training program stabilizes the pelvis and shoulder girdle while it lengthens and strengthens the muscles in the arms and legs. Key to all Pilates exercise routines is the controlled breathing and mental concentration that produce smooth movements to improve balance, coordination and body awareness.

  -Barrels
  
  The Reformer is the most common piece of equipment used in Pilates. It is a system of springs, straps and pulleys attached to a gliding platform. Clients use core stability to perform exercises to increase strength and flexibility of the arms and legs while improving their posture and balance.
  
  The adjustable springs allow for progressive resistance that effectively provides a no-impact workout that is gentle on joints as it tones and stretches without adding bulk. Clients sit, stand, kneel or lie on the reformer to perform over 400 exercises.

It improves muscle tone, fitness, flexibility, endurance and cardiovascular fitness but most importantly helps you lose weight. A typical Zumba workout burns between 500 and 1,000 calories and you know your getting a great workout but doesn’t feel like it because Zumba is so much fun!

Yoga

Our Yoga classes focus on your mental and spiritual well being plus physical activity. They create a balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility. This is done through the performance of poses or postures, each of which has specific physical benefits. Most people can start our Yoga classes, even if they don’t feel like they are very flexible or very strong. These things will develop over time.
