Vertical Pilates

Don’t take your Pilates lying down! Here’s an innovative advanced approach to Pilates matwork, all done in a standing position. This technique works your entire body as it enhances precise control of each muscle through balance and coordination. The breath is revisited in order to adapt to the increased work effort and the moves are a combination of traditional Pilates, rhythmic movement, and balance patterns with the usual focus on core strength. (Video incorporates use of a chair, weighted bar and/or dowel).
