Intro to Mat Pilates
with Barbara McGranahan
Beginner mat classes are for people who have never tried Pilates before, those who’ve had a substantial break from the practice, and for many of us whose bodies might have their fair share of quirks yet don’t require individual postural correction. With a focus on the breath and flow, Pilates exercises relieve stress and soothe aches and pains. With all the hunching, sitting, and planning we tend to do, the cues and corrections of each class will increase your postural and muscular awareness, both during class and the minute you step out of class. ***Please bring your own mat.

Also dance has additional benefits related to active aging such as improving posture, balance, and cognition. Come with a dance partner or solo. The summer social engagements are right around the corner. See you on the dancefloor!
