Class Experience
Pilates increases core strength, flexibility, stability and balance, awareness and the mind-body connection. Pilates teaches the body to work from the powerhouse, the core, making movements more efficient and fluid. It is loved by dancers and other athletes for creating long, lean, functional muscles. Pilates works small intrinsic muscles to build strength from the inside, out. These are personal training sessions, completely tailored to the needs of the participant. Our first session will be an assessment, goal setting and introduction; subsequent sessions will be designed to meet goals and enhance general strength and flexibility and the mind/body connection. Each session will start with a check - in how the participant’s “homework” went and how they are feeling, followed by a warm up and then demonstrated and guided exercises to increase strength, stability, mobility and flexibility. We will finish with a cool down, breathing exercises and a plan for the following week.
Learning Goals
Participants will set goals with me the first week; a parent is welcome in the first session.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Any exercise program has inherent dangers, including but not exclusive to, injury. If a participant has any medical or orthopedic issues, please get clearance from a physician prior to starting sessions. Please be sure student has an open and clutter-free space, water, and a mat. Pilates does not require shoes; no socks please; barefoot or “grippy” yoga/pilates socks are permitted after I see the bottom.
Supply List
A yoga mat, water, light weights or water bottles, a towel and small plush toy or throw pillow are usual props. I may request other household items or suggest specific small equipment after assessment.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
