Mat Pilates classes incorporate the principles of the STOTT Pilates method - a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates' original exercises. A "thinking person's exercise," focusing on postural strength, flexibility, alignment and coordination through the strengthening of both the mobilizing and stabilizing muscles within the pelvic and spinal region. These movements are performed primarily on the floor, at times using small equipment to further challenge the core and supporting muscles.

POSTURE & STRETCH THERAPY (PST)
Posture & Stretch Therapy(PST) is a comprehensive stretching system that includes stretching, facial remodeling, directed breathing(breath stretch), strengthening, neural re-patterning and relaxation. The goals are grace and ease, and this is experienced as enhanced awareness and elegance in movement.
PST is different from traditional limbering stretches in that it utilizes the Contract-Relax technique to re-pattern chronically tight muscles, restricted joints and movement patterns . We deepen the contract-relax experience by adding trigger point/fascia work using various size balls or foam rollers. PST uses a combination of tactile cues and visualisation to direct breathing into particular parts of the body while in a stretch position.
PST releases muscular tension and allies common aches and pains associated with stress, age, sports, or too much work at the computer. A perfect complement to Pilates, PST will unlock your bodies tension so you can truly experience life.
We say that ST is a safe, yet extremely efficient, way to improve your flexibility. Everyone’s path is unique, and our approach reflects this reality.
ST is practiced by thousands of people worldwide, and is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level.

Meditation is a mental exercise that trains attention and awareness. Its purpose is often to curb reactivity to one's negative thoughts and feelings, which, though they may be disturbing and upsetting and hijack attention from moment to moment, are invariably fleeting. It’s impossible for us to make our thoughts disappear; often, the more we try to suppress them, the louder they become. But practicing meditation can help clear away the mind’s chatter. Studies show that meditating even for as little as 10 minutes increases the brain's alpha waves (associated with relaxation) and decreases anxiety and depression.
