37) PILATES MAT

WEDNESDAYS 10/4-11/22 (8 weeks)

Tuition: $50

Pilates is a progressive system of exercises designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance both mind and body. Benefits include increased core strength, better posture and balance skills and more physical and mental energy. This class is recommended to those who have some experience with Pilates mat exercises and are able to transition to and from the mat.

A thick mat is highly recommended for class. Props (a stretchy band, small fitball, light hand weights, foam roller) may be used and beneficial to enhance the work.
