Pilates Mat Class

STUDIO 1 Pilates n Movement, LLC

Pilates based exercises work to strengthen the spine primarily from the “pelvic neutral” position versus “flat back”.  The neutral position indicates use of the 3 natural curves of the spine.  Flat back indicates the “crunch” position.

Posture is re-taught with each class enabling greater understanding and execution of technique. Level of work can be modified based on individual skill, strength, and ability.

A “feel good” form of exercise, this is a good compliment to the REFORMER CLASS or on its own. The MAT CLASS can replace your work in the gym, or compliment it.  You will strengthen and stretch on your back, belly, side, standing, jumping, sitting, and more.  You will learn where your body is weak or strong, AND learn how to balance those differences while working to avoid pain.  The theory of less is more is applied.                   

Therapeutic Pilates based exercises designed by a physical therapist are fabulous exercises for MEN, WOMEN, ROCK CLIMBERS, SWIMMERS, DANCERS, GOLFERS, and ALL PEOPLE combining both the Eastern and Western philosophies of movement.

The exercises are fun, preventive, and therapeutic in nature.  Pilates based exercises increase strength, flexibility, balance, posture, improve breathing, range of motion, and help protect the spine. 

Wear comfy exercise clothing that easily moves with you, giving freedom of movement.  Your feet will be bare.
