The Pilates Exercise System provides a great work-out simultaneously working on many levels. Through awareness and concentration practitioners move slowly, steadily and smoothly, emphasizing precision of form and total control. Years ahead of its time, the Pilates system not only strengthens the body/mind connection, but enhances and stimulates the coordination of the central nervous system. Joseph Pilates designed his exercise method to strengthen his students' intelligence, turning- on a greater number of cells/receptors of the brain and central nervous system- not only during, but following the execution of his exercises. Basic Pilates highlights the fundamental movements of Classical Pilates; specifically strengthening the lower back and abdominal muscles, instructing correct posture through body-awareness & correct alignment, and strengthening and adding flexibility to the skeletal.muscles and the joints. It also highlights the necessity of developing and maintaining better, more optimal balance. As we age, doesn't it make sense to do whatever we can to enjoy our lives and live most optimally? Isn't our health and bodily ease our highest priority? Come to the Haven - Do Pilates! Get back to basics and take greater responsibility for your Health and Well-being. You'll be happy You Did! Ongoing Group Classic Pilates Classes are on Mondays and Thursdays from 8:30- 9:45 a,m, and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:15- 2:30 p.m. All props provided including small balls, stretchy bands, light hand weights, blocks, magic circles and mats. Do bring your own yoga mat if you have one- to be guaranteed two for when we go down to the floor. All student levels work together; each person listening to and honoring his or her body to determine their optimal degree of motion. Quality of movement, not quantity or number of repetitions, is the focus. Classes can be paid for individually at $9 each, or one of two packages may be purchased- $30 for 4 classes to be taken in a month, or unlimited classes in a month for $72. Interested in checking out Pilates before entering a group class, or just not a group class person? Private sessions are also available by appointment. For more information and to schedule an appointment at a suitable time for your life-style, email Susan Clare, Certified Plates instructor, ** Please see below. *To experience the benefits of Pilates and to feel as though one is progressing, it is recommended each student attends class on a regular basis, at least 2-X weekly.
