Class Experience
This introductory Pilates FLEX series is designed for the 15-18-year-old dancer, singer, and/or actor. In this fun and age-appropriate 6-week pilates FLEX course, performing artists will be introduced to the foundations of the Pilates method and encouraged to learn by following along to the instructor's directions as well as copy her as she demonstrates the exercises. Learners will discover the many benefits of including a regular pilates practice as part of their conditioning to further...
Dancers, singers, and actors will walk away with a "taste" of what the pilates method looks and feels like. Pilates is similar to yoga but very different all at the same time. They complement each other and similarly have many exercises that focus on the mind-body connection and full-body movement. At times, there will be a focus on breathwork, alignment of the body, exercises to strengthen the belly and back, exercises to strengthen the arms and legs, and exercises that focus on stretching. During the class series, the instructor will do her best to offer different variations to do a particular exercise to fit the needs of the mover, as there is always more than one version to do each exercise. Part of the group experience and interaction includes sharing regular video feedback with the instructor and other peers so she can help coach each learner in developing proper form, offering variations for their specific needs, and continue to encourage the overall learning process. The hope is the learner will walk away feeling energized and confident, ready to tackle the next part of their day!
I am a comprehensively trained and certified Pilates instructor. I have over 600 hours of training under my belt and have been teaching Pilates for over 9 years and have been a dance and theater educator for over 20 years. I love sharing my passion and expertise in movement with all ages. I find that a regular Pilates practice can help benefit children and teens by instilling confidence in themselves as they grow strong, focused, centered, and flexible.
No outside supplies will be needed other than a clear space to move in. A yoga mat or a few towels can be supportive and helpful when doing the exercises that require the learner to lie on the floor, but not necessary.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
No live meetings, and maybe some time outside of class.
Notes about the class: - Please fill out the health waiver included in the welcome email ASAP. Make sure to get it back to me at least 24 hours before the FLEX series begins. This needs to be completed prior to accessing your first lesson. - Please provide an open workout space free of any items that could potentially trip or cause the learner to slip. - Please encourage your learner to wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to move in such as yoga pants, sweat pants, t-shirts, slip-free socks, bare feet, etc. - Please have a water bottle close by in case your learner feels they need something to drink. - Please note most of the movement is performed on the floor. It would be ideal to have a yoga mat, be in a room with carpet, or have access to multiple towels the learner could lie down on as needed. - Adult supervision is highly recommended as this is a self-paced course and students should be close to others while practicing.
