Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner
(cm),
and award-winning choreographer and dancer, and based on the revolutionary Feldenkrais
Method, these classes are gentle, yet highly effective. Some topics that
will be covered include posture, hip rotation, balance, phrasing and overall
movement coordination. The Total Body Tune- Up is a unique class for students,
professional dancers, and anyone who wishes to move with efficiency, grace, and
ease.
PILATES MAT*
Whether you want to tone your muscles, rehabilitate from an injury, or train for
an athletic event, Pilates Mat will safely guide you in the right direction. The
Pilates Method helps to lengthen and strengthen muscles while building a
uniformly developed body. Pilates focuses on core strength—abdominals,
gluteals, inner thighs—and practices moving from the “inside out.” It
helps with posture, body alignment, breathing, control, balance, flow and
strength. The mind works with the body to help realign movement patterns, and to
work muscles properly and efficiently. Students gain a kinesthetic awareness of
their own bodies so that they can integrate the ideas learned in class into
their daily lives.
