Yoga is a moving meditation. It's for you if you want to:
  • Have fun and feel good
  • Discover the power of breath, your life force
  • Generate and use energy efficiently
  • Slow your breathing and depressurize
  • De-sress, relax, and melt away worries
  • Stop doing and just be
  • Nurture yourself
  • Deepen your physical, mental, and emotional balance
  • Gain strength, endurance, and stamina
  • Gain flexibility and elongate muscles
Mat Pilates works with your own body's resistance and some basic props. It's for you if you want to:
  • Exercise with control and focus
  • Rehabilitate or avoid injuries
  • Strengthen your core — deep belly muscles that support your lower back
  • Gain greater range of movement and mobility
  • Relax your neck, shoulders, upper and lower back
  • Enhance your performance in golf, tennis, cycling, yoga, and more
  • Strengthen and lengthen using only your own body and simple props — no weight lifting
  • Play and have fun
The only prerequisite for breathwork is that you're alive (still breathing)! It's for you if you want to:
  • Relax
  • Acquire techniques for dealing with stress
  • Slow your heart rate
  • Reduce blood pressure
  • Stimulate the vagus nerve
  • Reduce fight-or-flight response to stressful stimuli
  • Improve circulation
