Intro to Pilates at Oyster Bay Yoga

In this class, you'll learn the fundamentals of Pilates, a mind-body exercise system that focuses on building core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness.  Mat Pilates is based on the original exercises Joseph Pilates created before any Pilates equipment came into use. Mat Pilates can be modified for any age, body, or fitness level.

This class is geared towards beginners or practitioners who are looking to refine their technique. You will be guided through a series of pre-Pilates exercises and commonly taught Pilates exercises designed to utilize your powerhouse deep abdominal muscles. We will also learn how to use some pilates props that you would see in a typical class. Get ready to connect with your body and embark on a journey to a healthier, more balanced you!
