This one-hour Pilates mat class will help you improve posture and develop core control, which is the ability to move effectively and efficiently by transmitting force from the body's center through the torso and limbs. Pilates-evolved mat exercises coordinate diaphragmatic breathing with properly sequenced co-contractions of the deep abdomina, pelvic floor, and spinal musculature. The exercises emphasize precise alignment and efficient sequencing of movement. There are countless different movement phrases which are performed seated, standing, on all fours, or lying on you back, side, or front. This class is suitable for any fitness level and the exercises can be modified to accommodate for injuries.
