This is a Pilates mat class focused on muscles and techniques to improve posture. In this fitness class learners will work on core strength, alignment and breathing techniques.  We will start with a warm up and then learn and practice 10-15 Pilates exercises. Students will end the class feeling stretched and stronger. Each week the class will be a unique workout focused on postural muscles. The workout will include Pilates strength exercises and stretches. The content of this class will be adjusted to meet the needs of participants each week. Below are examples of themes:

Week 1: core strength and stretching the upper back
