Movement for the Mindfully Athletic
Workouts precisely organized for you
Private sessions combine assessments and bodywork with Pilates and Yoga to create mindful workouts for your body’s needs
Assessment & Bodywork
Sessions begin with assessment of your movement patterns. Manual fascial release and correction, and adjustment movements are then used to organize the body and prepare it for larger and stronger movement exercises.
Pilates
The use of Pilates machines (reformer, cadillac and wunda chair) will usually follow to bring awareness to breath and strengthen and lengthen the pelvic floor and other core muscles. The machine exercises taught are specifically chosen and sequenced for your body’s needs based on assessment and bodywork. Exercises will aim to maintain alignment and challenge you.
Yoga
Sessions will intermittently sprinkle or end with yoga sequences. Without the use of springs from the Pilates machines, your body will be asked to move through yoga asanas using body weight to mindfully flow. Yoga is used to reinforce and challenge your body’s new found patterns to maintain mobility and strength both inside and outside of the studio.
