Intro to Pilates
This system of exercise that focuses on the deep muscles of the abdomen and spine compliments your yoga practice!  Simultaneously strengthened and lengthened, your muscles become longer and leaner, acquiring optimal strength and flexibility.  The result is a body that is upright, balanced, and agile. If you are new to Pilates, you will need to start here for at least one class. This class covers activation of pelvic floor; use of deep abdominal muscles; pelvic, shoulder and head positioning.
