DONATED-BASED Yoga/Pilates Flow in Studio: Gentle Core Engagement

IMPORTANT: If this is your first time joining us, please fill in the intake form so I can make this the best experience for you.

Looking to build strength in the core but not sure where to begin? This class is for you! This class is a little bit different than our usual classes, as it will be a combination of a yoga flow with pilates exercises, designed to gently begin to engage the core and build strength. This class is open to all levels and beginner-friendly. Expect a chill but engaging class, as we will be firing up the core! Class will end with a short meditation. Please bring your own yoga mat and any props you like for support.

Class is donation-based. The suggested donation amount is $10-$20, but feel free to pay what you can to help cover studio costs.

Why Pilates and Yoga?

I've been wanting to sequence a gentle core engagement class for a while now! Pilates is a corrective exercise, designed to stabilize imbalances in the body by bringing the engagement back to the core and back to the breath. This mind-body-breath connection merges seamlessly with yoga, where we increase bodily awareness through flowing with the breath and holding postures to release stiffness out of the body. Having a strong, stable core will help you develop a better yoga practice, and help support the daily movements of your body, reducing chance of injury and strain. Moving with the breath and body will also reduce mental chatter, bringing you to a clearer, more peaceful state of mind.

Please note:
