Pilates
Practitioner(s): Rose Jaekel Nancy Lipinski
Pilates is an exercise method originally designed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900’s. In this method, body and mind work together in a unique way. Pilates strengthens the muscles that support the spine (the neck, shoulders, abs, hips and thighs) to bring balance into the body. Most body aches and pains are due to muscular imbalance. Pilates helps to realign the spine in order to decrease tension, improving posture and flexibility, better joint mobility, toning muscles, giving the body a long and lean appearance.
Level 1: At this level, the focus is on the 5 Basic Principles: breathing, pelvic placement, ribcage placement, scapula stabilization and mobilization, head and neck placement. These foundations will be taught and applied to a number of exercises in the repertoire.
Level 2: The level 2 participant has an understanding of the Basic Principles and is ready for a workout that challenges core stability at a more intense level.
