Pilates Burn

Get ready to awaken & challenge your core!! In this 1/2 hour class, traditional exercises of Joseph Pilates are practiced in an organized intelligent sequence to lengthen and tone all abdominal muscles. Participants will feel and understand how to train not just core, but all muscles and bones in full extension.

The key to Pilates is that it’s not what you do, it’s how you do what you do. With guided instruction and personalized attention from Susie Birchenough, one will tune into the powerful effectiveness of Pilates. Initially, we will break down each exercise and as we progress, the class will become a flow.

Pilates is highly therapeutic for back & body pain and imbalances. As we learn to create space between each vertebra, creating length in the spine, the abdominal muscles strengthen, which protect the back. Posture is greatly improved, as is flexibility of the spine.

Strength, grace and confidence is heightened and one leaves this potent class feeling taller, toned and kicked up a notch! Classes are open to all levels.
