Pilates
Using the principles of Joseph Pilates, this mat-based class is designed to increase core strength, flexibility, coordination, posture, and body awareness.
Tai Chi
Often called "moving meditation," this class is a graceful form of exercise that helps reduce stress and improve overall health and well-being through stretching and gentle movement.
Total Body Conditioning
Strengthen your muscles with this total-body workout designed to help you get lean and toned! This high-energy, resistance training class will challenge your body to feel the burn and get maximum results.
