Elastic Bands Class                        Pilates mat exercises and reformer exercises can be done with varying resistance elastic bands.  This adds resistance to the workout increasing the strengthening, core stability, sculpting and toning the muscle.  Learn to incorporate the elastic in some Pilates mat exercises you already know.  Also, learn some new exercises which usually use a Reformer (a piece of Pilates equipment with a sliding carriage pullies, and springs) but can be simulated with the elastic bands.

Body Rolling (small ball and foam roller)                              Body rolling is a type of body therapy exercise which uses a 6 - 10 inch inflatable ball to stretch muscles, massage, free up restrictions, and release tension.  Stretch, elongate, tone, and realign by rolling your body over this pressure resistant ball as well as develop core strength.  Discover the many emotional and physical benefits of Body rolling, increase your body awareness, and learn how to fix your own imbalances at an early stage.

BOSU                                   The BOSU is flat on one side and domed on the other which makes for a great piece of equipment to establish and reinforce balance and proprioception while strengthening the core.  Exercises are done with both the dome side up or the flat platform side up making it a balance board.
