Stretching Classes (8 a.m. to 9 a.m.)
As we age, our muscles lose flexibility. This muscle compression strains the bones and alters the skeletal structure, making the bones fragile and muscles weak. In these classes, you will learn the methods and science to maintain healthy muscles and slow down the muscle compression associated with aging. These sessions are particularly suitable for women over 40 who will find themselves re-energized and active with stretched and toned muscles. The starting age requirement is 40 years. All props will be provided except the Yoga mat.
Pilates Classes (9 a.m. to 10 a.m.)
Pilates is based on six principles: breath, concentration, center, control, precision, and flow. It is designed to transform muscles and bones while strengthening the core. Regular practice of Pilates not only reshapes the musculoskeletal system but also helps regulate emotions. This class is highly beneficial for individuals over the age of 20 years. Participants will learn how to control muscle movement and maintain poses while regulating their breathing. Regular Pilates practice increases muscle endurance against daily wear and tear and enhances flexibility. Starting age is 20 years. All props will be provided except the Yoga mat and foam roller.
