Synergy Yoga/Pilates
This class combines the complementary benefits of Yoga and Pilates to create the experience of mind body connection with strengthening and lengthening.
Restorative Yoga
During our busy lives when so much of our attention is turned outward, give yourself the treat of a little relaxation and inward attention. With its emphasis on being rather than doing, this practice brings us into harmony with the body’s inherent rhythm. Restorative Yoga helps soothe the nervous system, support the immune system, calm the mind, and deepen awareness to our breath. This class is appropriate for students of all ages and levels of ability. Enjoy!
BodyStretch
Body Stretch is a group exercise class designed to help clients become more flexible in body, mind and spirit so you feel not only more functionally mobile but also more capable to deal with the physical and mental demands of your life. This comes from a non-competitive atmosphere in class that focuses on the innate physical intelligence and abilities within you. Instead of comparing yourself to the person next to you in class, participants are encouraged to find the best way to move and function for themselves, not some ideal. As opposed to targeting isolated, single muscles, BodyStretch is a functional mobility and stretch class that progresses through entire chains of neuro-myo-fascia.
TRX Suspension Training
TRX Suspension Training is a resistance training program unlike any other. Using one simple piece of equipment and the weight of your body, TRX clients can engage in hundreds of unique and challenging exercise routines that simultaneously work multiple muscles and joints. This class is suitable for clients of all fitness levels and will help enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and core stability. TRX Suspension Trainers are used by professional athletes, military personnel around the world, and thousands of people just like you.
Pilates Reformer
The reformer is a classic piece of pilates which has a horizontal carriage that glides on rollers and has a series of springs that provide increasing levels of resistance. This phenomenal machine allows you to strengthen abdominal muscles that help create a strong core and toned body without bulking up. Exercises are performed lying down, seated, kneeling and standing. The Reformer is suitable for all levels of fitness from post physiotherapy to advanced training.
