PILATES
MB01, MB02
Ages 13 & up

Pilates is an anatomically based approach to the original mind-body exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates.  It has been described as a stretching and strengthening workout that targets the deepest muscles in the body to create a strong core without the pain associated with conventional exercises.  Each movement has a prescribed number of maximum repetitions to create balance in the body by strengthening weak muscles and lengthening bulky ones.  Pilates focuses on working a number of muscle groups at once in smooth, continuous movements, creating a sense of length and strength.  Intermediate Pilates is appropriate for those students who have previously taken a Pilates class.  Students should bring a mat to class.
