Pilates for Athletes - Once Weekly Edition

Pilates will benefit the student athlete by enhancing their core strength, flexibility, mobility, balance, stability and resilience, both in and out of their sport.  Anyone recovering from most common types of injuries can participate as well*.   This fun but focused class uses household items such as throw pillows and beach towels to help students  grow their mind-body connection while enhancing their future performance.  

Each class will start with a chat about injuries participants may have, areas they (or their coach) want them to work on, and what kinds of movements/repetitive stresses their sports entail, so I can tailor each session accordingly.  Then, we will have a brief meditation to become present in the class, followed by the series of 5 - a traditional mat Pilates warm up.  After this, we will head into exercises based on the focus of the day, which will be based on one of the principles of Pilates - breathing, concentration, fluidity, balance, control, alignment, etc.  Whatever the focus of the day, all exercises include a healthy dose of core strengthening  for abs and back, and will incorporate the specific needs of the participants per the initial discussion  We will finish with a quick mediation and Q & A.
