Creekside Mat Pilates With CYAN

Join CYAN for an evening of mindful movement, building strength, and community at Creekside Villa. 

Led by local instructor Em of Alpine Flow Mat Movement, this Mat Pilates class combines traditional Pilates principles with functional movement to support both physical and mental well-being. Participants can expect a guided mat-based movement class focused on core engagement, mobility, stability, and mindful movement. 

Em's teaching style emphasizes movement awareness and the mind-body connection, with exercises and modifications offered to accommodate different abilities and experience levels. The class will be structured as a follow-along session, allowing participants to move at their own pace.

This event is open to all experience levels, from complete beginners to those with an established movement practice. Whether you're looking to try Pilates for the first time, improve your core strength, increase mobility, or simply take some time for yourself, you'll find a welcoming and supportive environment.

The session will take place indoors in a relaxed and supportive setting providing an opportunity to unwind, reconnect with your body, and enjoy movement alongside other young adults in the community.

Your registration includes a professionally guided Pilates-inspired movement class led by a certified instructor.

Please bring a yoga or exercise mat, water bottle and comfortable clothing suitable for movement. Props are included and mats will be provided if you do not have one.

About the Facilitator

Em is a Canmore-based movement instructor and Kinesiology graduate with a lifelong passion for sport, physical activity, and understanding how the body moves. Through years of participation in hockey, soccer, softball, skiing, and other activities, she developed a curiosity about movement and biomechanics that led her to pursue a degree in Kinesiology. During her studies, she gained experience working with diverse populations through a variety of fitness approaches and developed a strong appreciation for the mind-body connection. Through Alpine Flow Mat Movement, Em teaches accessible Pilates-inspired classes that focus on building strength, mobility, stability, and movement awareness that carry over into everyday life, recreation, and sport.

Accessibility Notes: This event takes place indoors. Participants should be comfortable getting up and down from the ground and participating in light to moderate physical activity. Modifications will be offered throughout the class to support a variety of abilities and experience levels.
