Upcoming Classes PILATES MAT CLASS- Fridays 10:30am – 11:30am ***---NO PILATES CLASS FRIDAY, APRIL 9th and APRIL 16th---*** Instructor: Cathy Harrington (see bio below) Click here for directions (Shakti Yoga Shala is located at Big Basin Vineyards) (please check website schedule for cancellations) PLEASE CALL AHEAD 831-588-5676 or e-mail cathy@santacruzmountainpilates.com Together in this class, with me as your guide, we will practice the fundamental principles taught by Joseph Pilates while exercising and learn to integrate the principles into everyday functional activities. Mini Anatomy lessons will be incorporated into each class. My goal is to teach you the necessary tools to integrate greater core stability and awareness, in order to gain greater freedom and ease of movement in all that you do. The benefits of the Pilates method of exercising include: increased core stability, strength, and flexibility; healthy breathing pattern with increased lung capacity; efficiency and precision of movement; improved postural alignment and balance; increased body awareness; increased spinal elongation and articulation; efficient use of pelvic floor muscles; a full body workout; and overall balance of body and mind. I look forward to sharing and exchanging knowledge with you. |
