Mat Classes are the floor work version of the Pilates method.
These classes take place in a group setting using your body weight as the
primary source of resistance. Focus is placed on precise movements originating from
the center or core of your body. Working from the deepest layers of muscles,
which
stabilize and support your spine and pelvis, resulting in a
strong, flexible spine with ideal posture and alignment. Classes

Pilates
Mat Classes
are a movement re-education program
designed to work every muscle in the body in an efficient, focused
manner. The exercises are designed to align, lengthen, and strengthen
the body in a unique way. Most movements are non-impact and non-weight
bearing. All require focus and concentration. Every hour-long class is
in a small, personalized setting allowing us to meet each client's
particular needs. Classes are suitable for students of all levels and
abilities.
Gyrokinesis®
incorporates many key
principles from yoga, dance, gymnastics and tai-chi. This floor work
version of Gyrotonic
works the entire body through seven natural elements of spinal movement:
forward, backward, left side, right side, left twist, right twist and
circular, as well as all other joint articulation.
This methodology systematically and gently works the joints and muscles
through rhythmic and undulating exercises. Movements stimulate the
body's internal organs and different corresponding breathing patterns
are integrated.
Fluidity is the key. Postures are not held for long periods of
time. Instead, postures are smoothly and harmoniously connected
through the use of breath, making exercises appear and feel more like a
dance than traditional yoga.
ZUMBA
combines
high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations are
"FUN AND EASY TO DO". Zumba is a “feel-happy”
workout that is great for both the body and the mind. ZUMBA is a
fusion of Latin and International music - dance themes that create a
dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! The routines feature
aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow
rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the
principles of fitness interval training to maximize caloric output, fat
burning and total body toning.
