The Gentry Technique: Fundamentals of Pilates
Week 3 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Heinz Fitness 2 | Ages 16 and up
Pilates has a reputation for building core strength and aiding back pain, but Pilates may not feel accessible for many. Protégé Eve Gentry created her technique to make Pilates more achievable for movers of all ages; it can stand alone as a means to build strength and find relief, and it can bridge practitioners to more challenging movements. Students will gain the proficiency to create their own Gentry exercise sequence to support their daily practices.
The Gentry Technique is most appropriate for seniors and people unaccustomed to exercise.
Materials fee of $15 due to instructor at start of class.
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.
