This 6-week Pilates Foundations class aims to teach you the basic principles of Pilates, such as core stability, proper breathing techniques, alignment, mobility, precision of movement, and flexibility. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate-level practitioner, this class provides a balanced experience and challenges you to work your entire body from head to toe. Building a strong foundation is essential for gaining awareness and fully experiencing the mindful benefits of Pilates. The class is conducted slowly and steadily, allowing you to pay close attention to the finer details. This will help you develop a deeper understanding of Pilates and support a healthy back and body. The class is also an excellent opportunity to enhance your practice and achieve a more profound level of relaxation.

To ensure a comfortable and enjoyable Pilates class experience, we kindly request that all attendees bring an exercise mat and a water bottle. Additionally, we recommend bringing a yoga blanket and strap for added support during certain poses. These items are optional but will help you get the most out of your practice.
