endurance, strength, flexibility &
concentration with a strong focus on
synchronizing the breath with flowing
movement. Postures flow in a logical

precedes. Intermediate Level
Restorative Yoga - By supporting the
body with props, we alternately stimulate
and relax the body to move toward
balance. Some poses have an overall
benefit. Others target an individual part,
such as the lungs or heart. All create
specific physiological responses which are
beneficial to health and can reduce the
effects of stress-related disease.
In general, restorative poses are for those
times when you feel weak, fatigued,
stressed from your daily activities or

and muscles. In addition, you can practice
the poses when ill, or recovering from
illness or injury.

advanced students, and seniors. It also is
a wonderful complement to a regular yoga
asana practice.

| The Benefits of Yoga |
Pilates
The Pilates Method (sometimes simply Pilates) is a physical fitness system that
was developed in the early 20th Century by Joseph Pilates. Pilates wrote at least
two books about the Pilates method: Return to Life through Contrology and
Your Health: A Corrective System of Exercising That Revolutionizes the Entire
Field of Physical Education.
Pilates called his method Contrology, which refers to the way the method
encourages the use of the mind to control the muscles. It is an exercise
program that focuses on the core postural muscles that help keep the body
balanced and are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular,
Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and
strengthen the deep torso muscles, which are important to help alleviate and
prevent back pain.

endorsements. After years of high-impact, no pain - no gain, feel-the-burn
fitness workouts, there is great appeal in a slower, safer, sensible approach to
health and wellness.
Pilates conditions the body from head to toe with a no- to low-impact approach
suitable for all ages and abilities. It requires patience and practice, but results
will follow.
Beware of Pilates programs that promise dramatic weight loss or overnight
transformations. That's not what pure Pilates is about. However, with time and
dedication, Pilates practice can:
