Incorporating exercises that strengthen the abdomen and back muscles and increase flexibility this low impact workout will be sure to build strength, stability and endurance in the muscles that support your core, improve balance and assist injury prevention.
Pilates in its most basic is a series of moves that help to strengthen our core muscles. However, it is also a full-body workout that focuses on different groups of muscles. For a session of Pilates you can expect to be on the floor so don’t forget your mat or a towel so you can be comfortable.
Pilates is not a cardio-based workout, it is all about control and challenge of the muscles. So if you are intrigued and have wanted to have a try come and join me so I can share with you a different way to strengthen your body.
Join us in the park for yoga and mindfulness, creating a Community of likeminded people, sharing a laugh and making new friends while getting healthy and active. Take time to get outside in nature to enjoy the fresh air as we move the body through yoga poses to the breath, working on easing tension in the body to create steadiness and ease. The style Kelly instructs is Vinyasa Yoga where you don’t need to know how to do yoga, to be flexible or strong, just open to try new things and more than once. There are modifications offered for every level of ability and my favourite motto is ‘messy yoga is better than no yoga!’
Wear comfortable clothes, no shoes required, bring a yoga mat or towel, some water and if you like to use any additional props such as yoga blocks, strap, cushions or bolsters.
