Finding Presence Through Pilates, Part 1

In this time of social distancing and isolation, it is more important than ever to bring attention to our physical and mental well-being. Through a committed, mindful movement practice, students can counteract the stress and anxiety that may arise in response to an unfamiliar, unpredictable environment. The Pilates method approaches the body as a whole system designed to move and breathe in a way that promotes self-healing. In this two-part series, students use the breath to facilitate each movement and awaken to the connection between mind and body—bringing themselves to the present and finding peace in the now.

Awaken Your Body with Gyrokinesis

Wellness comes from within—our bodies are the first environment and ecosystem we must inhabit. Breathing techniques help to stimulate the brain for a productive day and reenergize participants during midday to stay focused. Get back to the basics: mindfulness, use of the breath, and gentle movements that decompress the spine for posture improvement and overall optimization of one's health.
