Join us for a Pilates Apparatus Circuit Class especially designed for the experienced client who wants a high-energy, fast-paced equipment class for low cost!
 
TheraPilates Circuit incorporates all the apparatus: Reformer, Trapeze Table, Wunda Chair, Ladder Barrel, Spine Corrector, Ped-o-Pul, Foam Rollers, Rings, Balls and whatever else we can think of to give you  fantastic workout!
We will focus on breathing techniques, neutral or optimal spinal positioning, the best traditional and modern Pilates exercises for strengthening upper body, lower body and the core, as well as flexibility and balance exercises. The class is appropriate for all levels of fitness and modifications will be offered for each level.
 
Prior Pilates apparatus experience is required. Let us create a custom circuit session to help you meet your personal goals!
 
Learn how to :
  • align your spine for optimal control, decreased pain and freedom of movement
  • access and control your core (or just find out what it is!)
  • breathe deeply using your diaphragm
  • stretch your muscles and joints in safe and gentle ways
  • strengthen your upper body (for those elusive push ups)
  • strengthen those glutes and abs (Get a head start on preventing the Holiday Fat Hostile Takeover!!)

Pilates for Osteoporosis
 with Sherri Betz, PT
 
Here's a shocking statistic. Worldwide, 1 out of every 2 women, and 1 out of every 4 men over age 50 has low bone density! It is essential to meet the needs of this growing population by choosing appropriate exercises, modifying standard Pilates exercise repertoire, and eliminating contra-indicated movements
 
When a person with low bone density breaks a bone, they don't feel it, and we don't hear it. How can we prevent inadvertent injury to our clients? And as we know, spinal flexion exercises are contra-indicated for those with osteoporosis. So, if you can't flex the spine, how do you strengthen the abdominals and keep the spine healthy?
 
In this workshop you will learn modifications of Pilates mat and apparatus exercises for creating the perfect treatment or exercise program for the client with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
