wtf is pilates?

Pilates is everywhere these days. But what even is it? Why is everyone doing it? Does it have to be done on a questionable looking machine? Am I even doing it right? Let’s talk about it. Then let’s move and you can feel it for yourself.

We will start with a lecture/discussion about the history and trends, the who, what, and why of Pilates. Then we’ll learn the foundational priciples that help us make sense of it when we start to move and exercise. After a short break we’ll reconvene for a 40 minute class. This will allow you to put into practice what you’ve learned. To feel the movements in your body and begin to create the awareness and connections that are the foundation of Pilates. We will conclude the workshop with a Q&A so you can leave feeling confident to try your first Pilates classes or dive deeper into your weekly sessions. This workshop is for everyone. You don’t need to be “fit” or “flexible”. You just need to be curious and able to get up and down off the floor (it’s ok if it’s not gracefully).
