What classes are available at Ekinox?
Pilates
Pilates is a form of mind-body exercise created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1920s that is practiced by men and women around the world!
Focusing on deep strengthening of the stabilizing muscles of your spine, Pilates helps you keep your back strong and relieve chronic tension and pain. Through fairly physical, but gentle, non-impact exercises, Pilates work especially the lower body muscles (abs, back and glutes), but also the arms, shoulders and hips.
Posture is a focus throughout the class. Learn exercises to help improve and correct your posture from head to toe. Regain greater mobility by gaining control of your muscle function and improving your strength, power, balance and flexibility so you can do whatever you are passionate about!
Expect to stand, sit, lie down on your back, your front, your side, rock, glide and rotate your body. No shoes are required. Although this is not a cardio class, it is possible that some of the exercises will increase your heart rate.
