Our Pilates mat class is a series of floor exercises designed to use your own body weight in gravity.

It requires you to perform various exercises with a limited number of repetitions while making smooth transitions from one move into another. The sequence works deeper muscles and produces a leaner look and improved posture. Please bring a 5/8-inch Pilates mat with you.

Ladies, are you tired of complaining about these four areas of your body: flabby arms, saggy butt, pouchy stomach or jiggly thighs? If so, this class is for you. The Fab Four is geared toward turning those trouble spots into fabulously toned muscle. It will challenge you to work hard on those specific areas you want to improve, including your abs, arms and lower body. We will use a combination of exercises using equipment and your own body weight. Say goodbye to trouble spots and hello to fabulous!

Power Struggles - No One Wins

Every parent, at one time or another, has felt as if he or she was being overpowered by a child. It is a basic law of human nature for children to test limits and the enforcers (parents) of those limits. Today, even pint-sized tots are terrorizing their parents. Take a stroll down any grocery store aisle, and you are bound to come upon a small child screaming at a parent, striking a parent or calling a parent names. This class will explore who really is in the driver's seat by reviewing various parenting styles and setting rules that are appropriate and can be enforced.
