Saturday Morning Mat Class
We now have a regular Saturday morning all levels mat class available at 10:15 am.
Hundred, Roll Up, Roll Over, Single Leg Circles, Rolling Like a Ball, Single Leg Stretch, Double Leg Stretch, Spine Stretch Forward – these are the first seven exercises in Joe Pilates book “Return to Life”. All 34 exercises are seen and felt in some form on the reformer, chairs, towers, and barrels.
Up your game and pilates progression – By learning/reviewing the fundamentals and challenging yourself without the aid of the springs, you will have more personal “aha” moments during your equipment classes.
At home or on the road – When you learn how to do the mat work correctly in your body, you then have the power to do pilates anywhere!

Pilates for a Cause
Please join us Thursday, October 24th for our inaugural Pilates for a Cause. This special Happy Hour and donation fundraiser is being held in support of the new documentary SPENT The Hidden Cost of Dementia.
In 2016 Daphne lost her mother Betty to vascular dementia. The four year battle emotionally devastated and financially blindsided her and her family. Owners of an award winning media production company, Daphne and her husband Bob are telling their story by producing a documentary. The goal of this venture is to raise awareness of the many costs of this disease to the public and policy makers, as well as offer support to affected families. SPENT The Hidden Cost of Dementia will break down stigmas, start a dialogue, and influence change.
Money raised will go towards final stages for its debut on public television and for community outreach to both corporate and non-profit organizations. Donations of over $50 will be entered into a raffle for a free private session with DAPHNE
