This is a Mat Pilates class connecting and conditioning each individuals' whole being - body and mind. Using the Eastern and Western traditions and philosophies of exercise, the Eastern approach embraces calm centering and wholeness, with an emphasis on stretching and limbering; the Western approach brings more attention to developing muscle tone and strength through movement. The combinations of the two is the basis for this holistic system of exercises helping you to build muscular strength and endurance with flexibility to achieve muscular balance, all with attention to conscious breath and mindfulness of the movements. This format is performed on a mat on the floor, utilizing a variety of positions (e.g. seated, supine, prone, side-lying or standing). Silver Sneakers I (Muscular Strength & Range of Movement) Have fun and move to the music through a
