Description
Welcome to my new online course, the 7 Day Pilates Challenge. In this week long challenge, we go through a different Pilates workout each day, that is going to get you moving every muscle group in your body and get your blood pumping.
I have been teaching Pilates for 17 years, and absolutely love what I do! As a former dancer, I love the way Pilates makes me feel and helps me with my posture and body awareness, so that I can continue moving and dancing and doing all the other things I love.
I have designed this course to give you 7 different Pilates Matwork classes that will challenge and invigorate you, while working on the Stott Pilates technique. First there is a brief introduction to the 5 Basic Principles of the Stott Pilates technique, and then each workout is between 22 to 25 minutes long so that you will have time to add some Pilates to your day, hopefully every day of the week!
I want you to feel amazing at the end of the week, not tired or sore. I want you to feel motivated and inspired to go through all of the lessons week after week until your body begins to crave that feeling of moving well.
Join me on this 7 Day Pilates Challenge and show your body how much you care about it!
