Mat Pilates: Tall, Trim and Tension Free
Equipment: No Special Equipment Needed!
A challenging, but feel good, Pilates flow to release tight muscles and strengthen the core. We take time to focus on the breathing as we work the spine through flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion and stability. All with a focus on realigning for strong posture and mid-section strength & stability. The side effect… flat abs. Nice.

Ab & Core December 27, 2015
This ab/core class is not your traditional ab routine, but I guarantee your abs WILL BE SORE done right. How do I know? Because I did this yesterday and mine are sensitive as heck today. LOVE IT! Miriam starts us out with dance inspired leg extensions with crunches in counts of 8. Then on your feet for a ladder count with challenging balance moves such as around the world karate kicks and lunges with a twist and leg lift. It’s good fun! Very mental, but in the best way possible. Only a mat needed, shoes optional.
