Summary

6 Week Virtual Fitness Workshop

Description

The Seated/Mat Pilates and Breathwork workshop is a 6 week workshop designed to be progressive. 

The Adaptive Pilates Mat/Seated Class is a unique hybrid class essential for those that sit in a chair all day and are able to get  up and down off of the floor or have access to a raised mat or your bed.  Liz Ann will lead the class through the basic principles of Pilates, helping you to get stronger, more flexible and even to have improved coordination. Pilates also uses specific sequential breathing methods combined with intense concentration on a specific body part to create an effective exercise routine. 

You will learn breathing strategies, deepen your understanding of “mind-body” and  work with seated movement that focuses on lengthening the head to tail and  opening and strengthening the upper body. These things can help you access your body's full capacity. You will finish her class feeling rejuvenated. 

If you are unable to transfer to floor/mat/bed then you are welcome to join for just the seated portion of class.   The seated portion will be at the beginning of class
