Pilates

Pilates focuses on developing core muscle groups with the purpose of improving posture and to help keep the body balanced; these are two critical areas in providing support for the spine. In addition, Pilates promotes an awareness of how you breathe during exercise and also how to maintain the alignment of your spine with the aim of strengthening the deep torso muscles. Stretching, strengthening and stabilization are incorporated into each of the exercises. Attention to detail is the main focus of the Pilates method here at Body Lines. When the mind is connected to the body then one can move with grace, balance and most efficiently without thinking about it.

Power Pilates

Power Pilates will challenge your body in a whole new way! It takes controlled movements, combines it with the long, lean muscle building of a regular Pilates class and takes it to the next level.

Each exercise engages and targets multiple muscle groups for a challenging and functional workout.

Yogalates

Yogalates is the combination of both traditional Hatha Yoga postures and Pilates exercises that specifically address core strengthening. Yoga focuses on proper breathing technique while going through fluid movements coupled with holding seated, standing, prone and inverted poses. Pilates incorporates core work that aids in increasing muscle strengthening, balance, flexibility and co-ordination. These two disciplines compliment each other nicely and encourage long, lean and toned muscles. This class is a great addition to our schedule as it will not only challenge the body but also help to calm/distress the mind.
