Weekly Schedule

Pilates Mat

Pilates Mat will incorporate traditional Pilates Mat exercises as well as exercises that have been adapted for the Mat from the Pilates equipment using stretch bands and Bosu Balls. Every class will focus on the major muscle groups of the body, but especially the Core strength. The goal of Pilates is to balance strength and flexibility for optimal physical results and ease in movement, so stretching is incorporated throughout the mat class. The instructor is able to give modifications for beginners and those who are temporarily or permanently impaired and will also offer greater challenges for those who have progressed to work their body at a more difficult level. As with all exercise, you should talk to your doctor before you begin and let your instructor know if you have any limitations which would require modification.

BOSU Sculpt Pilates

This Pilates Mat class uses the BOSU ball to transfer the classical Pilates Barrel exercises to the mat and gives an additional challenge to classical mat exercises. Using the BOSU ball helps participants with their form and also allows for some wonderful stretching movements to develop the balance between strength and flexibility. The class is taught at the intermediate level with modifications given to participants who are at the beginner level. Please be sure to use our online scheduler to sign up for this class! SPACE IS LIMITED!

Pilates Chair (not included in Verve Membership)

Anyone interested in Pilates for upper body strength will LOVE the chair, as there are great exercises for the triceps, pecs, deltoids and shoulder girdle stabilizers.  The one arm push up, hand on chair is an excellent triceps exercise (and pec!), and the Twist does wonders for the deltoids and the shoulder girdle stabilizers. The lower body also gets a great workout.  Expect stronger and more shapely legs and more flexible feet.
