Description
Do your Pilates using a chair instead of a mat! This class is designed for those who have difficulty getting up off of and down onto the floor. This active Pilates fusion style class uses exercises and sequences that are specifically designed for those who want to stay healthy, keep moving and maintain their independence as they age! The exercises will target a strong core, a healthy back, shoulders, pelvis and knees … with a little fun mixed in! We will be using the chair in sitting exercises to help warm up, stretch and lengthen the body. There will also be an emphasis on the core, back and shoulders using a variety of props, which will be provided. The sitting exercises are followed by a series of strengthening standing exercises, targeting the whole body and using the chair for support when needed. No Pilates experience is needed and beginners are welcome! Students must be able to stand and walk independently, without the support of a walker or cane.
PLEASE BRING HAND SANITIZER TO CLASS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE THE COMMUNITY MATS, BLOCKS, RESISTANCE STRAPS PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN.
