Gentle Chair Pilates

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 gentler 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 but with a slower paced, gentler approach to Pilates. The class will offer exercises targeting a stronger core, healthier back, shoulders, pelvis and knees, as well as better balance … with a little fun mixed in! The class also includes plenty of stretches in between the exercises to maintain and improve joint range of motion. Please note that exercises will be done both while sitting and standing (using the chair for support) and students must be able to stand independently, without the support of a walker or cane. No Pilates experience is needed and beginners are welcome!
