Pilates Pilates is a method for conditioning exercises that focus on strengthening the core of the body, allowing for greater stabilization of the torso, improved posture and increased range of motion in the joints. Because the technique emphasizes fluid movements through a full range of motion rather than short contractions, muscles develop strength and definition without bulk. Pilates is for everyone.

Yin Yoga

All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body and the fascia that covers the body. Because of this deeper focus, the postures are more passive, mainly on the floor, and it is not uncommon to see postures held for three to five minutes. Your focus will be to relax into the posture and soften the muscle. This is a very relaxing yoga practice. Bring a yoga mat, a strap and a thick blanket, bolster or pillow.
