Mat Pilates

Week 3 | M, W | Heinz Fitness 1 | Ages 16 and up

Pilates is truly for every body in this inclusive and encouraging class. Beth is Core Dynamics-trained and shares the Eve Gentry Fundamentals in class, as well Eve’s philosophy that “Pilates is a concept.” She uses analogies, positive visualizations, and humor to motivate practitioners. This class incorporates breath and relaxation as well as strength-building and functional movements.

Class Times

Participants should bring an exercise/yoga mat (3/4" think is best, but thinner is fine) and dress in comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. We will work in socks or bare feet.
