Strengthen and Align (Sept Drop-Ins)

Description

After many years teaching Pilates, ELDOA, myofascial stretching and other somatic approaches, I will be back on the mat for a group class. We are training for mobility, strength and spinal decompression. The homework I give clients comes from questions after a osteopathic session: "How to do hold the alignment? What exercises do I do now?" So now I am offering the space and guidance for a group class and I feel like I'm coming back full circle to training, but from a fresh perspective and decades of experience helping humans move. Hop on your mat with me! What will we be doing? - Mobility exercises (standing, sidelying, on all fours, lying on your mat)  - Strengthening exercises (Isometric, concentric or essentric) - ELDOA (spinal decompression postures) - Myofascial Stretching - Restorative Postures Fall 2026: There are 2 drop-in classes before the 5 week session starting the first week of November.
