Materials needed: Please bring your own Yoga mat! Get ready to feel the burn and work your core, glutes, and more in Mat Pilates for Beginners. This intro level class will allow you to get your feet wet in the world of Pilates while experiencing a dynamic workout.

Sound healing is an alternative therapy used to help relax and heal you on a physiological level, deepening your conscious awareness and inducing the brain waves to enter into theta and delta states of being, where deep healing occurs. Lie down and rest as the healing instruments are played; this is a passive activity that will provide you with deep rest and recalibration. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a mat to lie on. If the class is full, sign up for the waiting list and we will open a second session if enough people are waiting.

***This class will be held outdoors at Fuller Park on days weather permitting. We will move indoors to nearby Justice Page in the event of pour weather*** In this class we will explore the foundational moves of the Restore Your Core® movement method. Through movement, we will explore spinal and pelvic mobility, core engagement, and how the breath contributes to healing, as well as our bodies' preferred movement patterns. Students will learn new ways to bring more balance into the body, with the goal of reducing or eliminating core and pelvic floor injuries and dysfunction. This is ideal for people who experience symptoms such as incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis, or people who have given birth as recently as 12 weeks prior to beginning of class and are looking to reconnect with their bodies. It is also ideal for those experiencing low back pain, weak core, stiffness, and who are looking to create a new movement practice. The moves are based on yoga and Pilates, but with a different approach than what you might find in most yoga or Pilates classes.
