Poilates™ I
This 80 minutes class is designed for people looking to create
or augment their full body fitness program. Each session focuses
on opening the mind and body to offer a comprehensive workout
for people at any fitness level.
The class opens with a short meditation to help students relax
and get centered in their bodies, letting go of all the stress
and tension of their day. Students will focus on their breathing
and then connect with their core muscles using traditional Pilates
techniques. Students will then move through Yoga inspired stretches
and asanas, using Poilates™ drills
to assist in developing greater flexibility, muscle
tone and movement generated from core conditioning.
Poilates™ shares the breathing and movement principals
of singing, Pilates, Yoga and other practices. It combines
these traditional forms with poi as an external prop to assist
students in understanding how to generate full body movements
from their transverse abdominus (TVA) and other core muscles.
Working with the poi creates an opportunity for students to explore
a fun workout.
Weather the student is new to poi or pilates or an experienced
practitioner of either discipline, this class will develop and
deepen their relationship to their center on a physical and mental
level. Experienced
Pilates practitioners can expect this fun class to expand
help them create movement through their arms from their center
as a means of deepening their current practice while experienced
poi artists will support their poi skills by grounding their
movements in their increases awareness and strength. Individuals
new to poi and Pilates will find this class to be a unique way
of supporting a full body fitness program
To maximize the value of these classes, class size in our San
Francisco studio is small (10 or less) and each student receives
individual focus from the instructors. Each of the classes meets
for 80 minutes.
