Lisa's Power Pilates Class
Spring/Summer programs

This 1-hour workout will help you improve flexibility, balance and posture, as well as tone and strengthen your entire body.

Our focus is on the core: waist, hips, butt, thighs, back and abdominals using your own body weight as resistance as well as incorporating the use of a stability ball & resistance bands into routines.

This easy to follow, challenging class consists of 30 minutes weighted muscle conditioning combined with 30 minutes practicing the concepts of mat work Pilates.

Through controlled movements the combination of exercises will bring total muscle awareness to your mind and body.

Please bring your weights (5 to 10 lbs) and a mat to every class. There will be weeks when the stability ball/resistance bands will be used and notice will be given prior to the class.
