CLASSES
Gyrotonic®
Gyrotonic® lessons are the perfect way to exercise the body while mobilizing and effectively targeting the joints. It’s a unique system that streches and strengthens at the same time with minimal effort while increasing the range of motion. The GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM® is conceived using key principles of gymnastic, swimming, ballet and yoga through which all major muscle groups are worked independently and in an integrated manner.
Reformer
The reformer uses springs, pulleys, bars & straps to perform over 500 exercises in a variety of positions. The equipment was originally developed to offer movement and rehab to the injured, but today it offers a more challenging version of the matwork. Because of the reformer’s attachments, it is an ideal option for those who need modifications to the mat exercises. It is also easier to increase resistance with the reformer, creating more challenging work for the advanced Pilates client.
Pilates equipment classes
Pilates equipment classes use a combination of reformer, Wunda chair, springboard and TRX based on the size and preference of the group.
Restorative Mat and Body Rolling-Candlelight Friday Nights
Body rolling is a form of self-care that helps create space between muscles and joints, elongate and relax the body, and release tight, tense muscles. Each class will work specific parts of the anatomy including but not limited to: front and back of the leg (quads and hamstrings), the back (spine), the bottom (gluteus maximus, medius and minimus), shoulders, chest, and neck. Subtly work the core while toning the entire body. Free restrictions, tension and move with ease.
Gyrokinesis®
The Gyrokinesis® method is a movement method that gently works the entire body, opening energy pathways, stimulating the nervous system, increasing range of motion, and creating functional strength through rhythmic, flowing movement sequences. It is an original, and unique movement method which has benefits & qualities similar to those found in Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics, and dance.
Small Prop Pilates Mat
Practicing Pilates on a mat means you are using your own body for resistance and your core muscles work more efficiently to hold you in certain positions and perform the exercises. If the instructor uses props such as bands, weights, balls or ring it will double or triple the diversity of moves for a mat class.
TRX
"All Core All The Time" is the motto of TRX Suspension Training. Developed by the U.S. Navy Seals, the TRX system is a revolutionary method of leveraging body weight in exercise. Every exercise builds functional strength and power, improves flexibility, balance, core stability and prevents injuries. By working with your own weight your workout focuses on the human body as an integrated system. Safely perform hundreds of exercises all at the intensity you choose. Incorporating the principles of Pilates maximizes the results and provides a versatile and effective training method for anyone regardless of age, gender or fitness level. "All Core All the Time"
