Service Description

Yoga and Pilates don’t have to be two independent practices. This course builds mobility, stability and strength through Pilates to help propel your Yoga practice into a new dimension. We will be uncovering Pilates fundamentals which will prep the body & help fine-tune your backbends, twists, balancing postures and other aspects of your Yoga practice. The core - your center - is composed of the lower abdomen, lower back muscles, glutes, and pelvic floor. If the centre is weak and unstable, we are prone to injuries, especially when we move through repetitive movements such as sun salutations. Each week we will flow through a progressive set of Pilates exercises that create mobility in our joints, stability in our pelvis and spine, and explore various relationships to gravity, thus deepening our understanding of our bodies in space. This all-level course will help restructure the entire body bringing awareness to areas you didn’t know you needed enhancing your practice, and helping to prevent injuries.
