Workshops:

Pilates on the Ball Program

This program incorporates the versatility of the stability ball with the fundamentals of Pilates. We begin with a low impact warm up, followed by full body conditioning and end with gentle stretching. Each exercise on the ball involves using your core for balance, while your stomach and back muscles are strengthened through out the entire session . A great workshop to learn a few new moves on your ball or use as a home workout program.
Yoga on the Ball Program

Some of yoga’s most beneficial poses require trust and lots of flexibility. Using the ball as support allows you to stretch, bend and rest on it. When your body feels supported by the ball, muscles then relax and the body can move deeper into the poses. Also, by incorporating the ball into more moves you can create an element of difficulty as balance and stability are challenged. Introducing the stability ball into your yoga routine allows you to explore poses you may have been afraid to try, as well as experience familiar poses in a fresh, new way.

Testimonials

I have better posture and feel better about my internal and external health. I love the thrill and challenge of something new every time. I have lost baby weight and developed curves where there were none before, AND I have made some great friends.
So very close to home. Peaceful and friendly surroundings. Beautiful views of the escarpment and the relaxing sounds of birds and nature.
