Pilates

​Pilates is a gentle, but extremely effective training method for body and spirit. This systematic body training was invented and developed by Joseph H. Pilates.

                                                                                            Pilates changes your shape by working the core and educating you in daily life. There is an attention required (in doing the exercises) that changes your awareness even after class. When you're cooking, brushing your teeth -- the lessons are coming home to pull your stomach in and pull your shoulders down. Class can help make you aware of that chronic tweak in the neck you get from sitting at the computer all day with rounded shoulders and a phone cradled between ear and shoulder.
                                                                                                    Pilates teaches you how to train your mind and build symmetry and coordination in the body.  Single muscles and muscle parts are specifically activated, relaxed or  stretched.  T​he quality of movement and not the quantity is what matters and breath is coordinated with the moves.

​               These 60 minute classes are small in number and great in experience and results!  

Pilates classes at EDGE YOGA offer an invigorating and challenging  matwork that I adapt for beginner, intermediate, and advanced level students.  You will be taught to focus and to do much more than just go through the motions; you will leave with a new-found connection!
