Pilates Mat
Exercises in mat pilates can also involve basic pilates equipment such as a pilates ring, resistance band, or weighted balls. Mat pilates exercises are performed in a slow, controlled, precise manner and require an intense concentration. These exercises help strengthen the body’s core by developing pelvic and scapula stability, and abdominal control, using focused breathing patterns. The main fitness goals of a mat pilates program include improved flexibility, muscle tone, body balance, spinal support, low back health, sports performance, and body-mind awareness.

Supportive postures using bolsters and blankets designed for those who wish to go deeper into stretching with relaxation. For those experiencing post op or health complications. The goal of bringing about physical health and mental well – being.
Fascia Release in Yoga(on demand video only)
Fascia is your body’s three-dimensional connective tissue matrix. It encases and weaves through muscles, organs, and bone to bind all your distinct parts together as one. If an area of your body becomes stiff or develops adhesions or scar tissue, this can create a pull on the fabric of the myofascial network, affecting the entire chain.
In this class you will use self-myofascial release techniques with props like foam rollers and balls (as well as DIY props) to enhance your yoga practice, fix trouble spots, and learn about your entire system for optimal whole-body health. Understand the best ways to incorporate fascial release techniques into a yin yoga class.
