Minnetonka Community Education

This class is an introduction to basic Pilates movement principles. Focus will be on alignment, setting the body up for movement, developing core and body strength and flexibility. Beginning level Pilates mat skills will be introduced. This class is for active adults.

Pilates workouts promote strength and balanced muscle development, as well as flexibility and increased range of motion for the joints. This class will also include mindful breathing and stretch and release work to calm the mind and body. This class is not for those with osteoporosis or need many movement modifications

Mindful Mat Pilates focuses on developing core strength and flexibility through matching breath with movement. Pilates on the mat uses one's body weight to strengthen, lengthen and tone the core. Pilates props will be added throughout the session. This is a mixed level class so all are welcome with options given to modify or increase the challenge. This class is not for those with osteoporosis. See Pilates for Buff Bones.
