TRI-PLANE PILATES
This course is a logically safer approach to Pilates mat training due to there is no exercises that will in any way harm either the lumbar or cervical spine due to we do not do antiquated core training on the floor. This is the modern day approach to standing exercises but embracing the principles of 'contrology' but for today's society and student that spends over 70% of their day sitting over a computer or texting. The core starts from the floor and the feet up and we need to start looking at the ground reaction of gravity to how it affects our body and this session will do just that with the use of small props for a class for the students of today not the elite dancers of Joe era.

*Learn how you can still do exercises that have the Pilates feel but standing
*Understand the purpose and WHY of every exercise
