Pilates is about your back body! Join us to find those muscles and use them throughout the mat class. This is a slow paced intermediate class.
Three posture exercises
Good posture isn’t just about aesthetics – it can have a significant impact on your physical and mental well-being. Here are three quick Pilates- based exercises you can do to work on yours. Here’s a video of all three here, too!
Stable Spine .mp4
This is a great option for anyone who wants to avoid forward bending for medical or other reasons. We will keep the spine long for the entire mat, but don’t confuse that with easy. its a great challenging workout that will work your upper back and abs!
Front Body Stretch – Strong Intermediate
Need some extension in your life? Try this strong intermediate medium paced mat to open up your front body. Its a great choice before or after a day working on your computer!
What the Wall Can Teach Us (Int)
The whole reason we do Pilates is so we can do what we love in the world! And much of that is upright! So let’s start and end of the wall and apply the wall to a strong intermediate mat class.
Arm Weight Connections (Int/Adv)
Using arm weights to strengthen the arm movements in each of the foundational and intermediate exercises. The weights are light (2lbs) but don’t underestimate their impact!
Lift and Lengthen Wall Circle (Foundational)
This is a quickie but it gets right to the point. Use the Magic Circle to connect to your center and use the wall to LIFT!
Posture Power (Int/Adv)
Use these small weights (or leave them out) to really work those upper back (posture) muscles!
PrePilates (Very Foundational)
Sometimes your back just doesn’t feel great. Here is a short video of pre pilates exercises (the exercises you do BEFORE you do pilates). These are a great place to start learning Pilates AND to revisit when your body just isn’t feeling its best, especially if your lower back is achy. Give these a try!
