CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Stacey offers private at-home Zoom pilates sessions, allowing you to have a consistent practice from any location.

Her sessions are tailored to your fitness goals and unique physical needs (we all have them). She helps clients to develop an awareness and knowledge of their own bodies and to move more efficiently. She is equally inspired to help you work through injuries and/or maintain wellness. She works with individuals from a wide range of ages and experience levels to feel more empowered in their own bodies.

Working with Stacey will challenge you to build healthy alignment and strength from your inside (core) out. Combining pilates mat exercises and the use of props, you will learn to build balanced strength to promote better movement both on and off the mat. With consistent practice, the tools learned in class will:

• aid in injury prevention
• promote better posture
• maintain strength & mobility as we age
• make you feel good, physically & mentally

If you enjoy movement and want to fine-tune your body mechanics and mind-body awareness, you will benefit from working with Stacey.
