Sound Healing
Sunday, April 9th at 4:00pm
Sunday, April 30th at 4:00pm
with Geri Ann
This calming class can settle your busy mind, which may better activate your own internal healer. We'll start with gentle, easy-to-do movement with healing sounds in order to clear tension from the body. You'll then settle on a comfy bolster and chant (or hum!) vowel sounds to cultivate even more tranquility. For the last half of class, you can choose to either meditate seated on your bolster or rest down on your yoga mat as a variety of crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and chimes are played.
4 Week Beginner Reformer Series
Sundays, starting April 2nd - 30 at 12pm (no class on 4/9)
with Lee & Stephanie
In this 4-week reformer series, you will practice mastering basic movements on the Pilates Reformer machine so you feel prepared to enter any weekly class. You will move your body in all planes to get the ultimate full-body workout. Classes will focus on form and alignment, providing modifications and simple progressions to meet all needs.
Series Plan
Week 1:
Learn the language of Pilates: Learn about all parts of the machine, how to adjust spring tensions and how to setup and move the footbar. Learn how to find your alignment from head to toe and how to use your breath to increase the benefits of each exercise. Find “neutral spine” and a “rib to hip” connection. Practice basic Footwork, Hands in Straps, and Feet in Straps exercises while maintaining a neutral spine.
Week 2:
Challenge your brain with some Coordination exercises. Practice “Round-back” vs “Flat back” exercises, Pilates “roll downs” and “roll ups” using Short Box and Long Box. Feel your back body wake up! Practice Kneeling exercises that help you stabilize in your center facing forward and facing back. Allow your body and mind to relax as it gets more accustomed to the machine, listening to cues. Find your personal rhythm.
Week 3:
Challenge yourself with 1-arm and 1-leg exercises to feel strengths and weaknesses in the body. Pilates props will be introduced in this session. Practice Bridging on the footbar as well as exercises that challenge your balance while the carriage is moving. Learn to keep your alignment in Plank, Scooter and more!
Week 4:
Standing exercises, such as Elephant, Side Splits and Skater will be practiced in this session. Explore side-lying and side-sitting exercises that work your glutes, obliques and hip flexors while turning on your lateral fascial lines. Leave feeling ready and prepared to enter any class on the schedule!
There are no returns, refunds, or credits for missed classes for this series.
