Restorative Exercise
Restorative Exercise™ - This all level class is based on the Nutritious Movement™ work of Katy Bowman, author of Move Your DNA.
Restorative Exercise™ uses the study of biomechanics to create a 'user's manual' of the body, easily accessible and immediately beneficial.
In this 55 minute class we'll explore the alignment points in our bodies that allow us to assess our posture and function now against what it could be, and how those alignment relationships can be causing pain, dysfunction, wear and tear, and decreased performance. Using this new information we'll explore simple movements that will re-establish alignment, balance, adaptability and strength into our joints and muscles, restoring health all the way to the cellular level! Whether you're looking for whole body health, pain relief, or increased physical performance, this class has something for you!

Pilates Barrel
The Pilates Barrel - (aka Spine Corrector) is a rounded apparatus used on the mat and is the secret weapon for tight backs, hips, and shoulders. Opening these tight spots improves posture, and there's nothing better for anyone who sits (which is all of us). The class is a perfect blend of deep stretch, mobilization, and strength, and you'll feel like a whole new person after class!
