Beginners Pilates Group Equipment Class
A one-hour class once, twice or even 3x per week to improve movement, posture, strength, flexibility, balance, and muscle tone at a pace suited to beginners. Modifications are made, as needed, to accommodate painful joints, pregnant or plus-size bodies, nerve damage, and anything else! We have experience working with real people!
Yoga Therapy
Yoga practice consistes of postures, breathing, hand gestures, visualization, and meditation to help the practitioner develop and maintain a healthy body and quiet mind. A practice is developed especially for you to do at home for whatever your specific needs are--improving strength, flexibility, focus, balance, sleep, or mood.
Shiatsu Massage
Shiatsu massage is based on the same principles as acupuncture and the same points and meridians are treated with pressure from hands, forearms, knees, and feet as well as stretches. Work is performed with the client fully clothed, usually on a mat on the floor. A massage table may also be used, as needed.
Somatic Movement
While yoga and Pilates are both types of somatic movement, there are many other schools of thought. BodyMind Centering uses exploration of movement based on developmental stages from cell to fully-formed human with different tissues and systems as a way of healing and finding more ease of movement. The Feldenkrais Method-based Sounder Sleep System and Movement Intelligence pratices use different approaches to address problems with posture, gait, joint pain, and sleep.
Why Pilates Yoga and Somatic Movement?
These practices unite the mind, body, and breath in a way that eases tension, improves focus and promotes health. Regular practice improves balance and flexibility, increases endurance for other activities, and promotes mindfulness. Take a break from your day. Focus yourself and find clarity.
