Healing with Pilates (6-Week Series) – Tuesdays & Thursdays at Noon, Mondays and Wednesdays at 11.

This class SERIES is a very special group class for those healing injuries or returning to Pilates post-injury or surgery (NOT meant for beginners to the reformer, and also NOT meant to diagnose injuries OR be a replacement for Physical Therapy)! We will use the reformer, cadillac, stability chair and more to work everyone through the best exercises for them in a slow and controlled fashion. Modifications will be provided for those needing them. This class is going to be very slow and mindful, gleaning the most strength and flexibility possible from each and every exercise.

Qi Gong – Tuesdays at 5:30 PM

This class is offered as a paid class through Deep Roots Acupuncture and is currently filled. If you are interested in future classes, please contact Lucy Marsh at Deep Roots (please email us with subject line Qi Gong) for more info.
