Pilates Mat class is designed to introduce you to the 34 fundamental Pilates mat exercises. It is suitable for people of all fitness levels as the exercises are performed in the supine position allowing better alignment, muscle control, and precise execution of the movement. The Pilates method is unique as it targets primarily the muscles of the abdomen and lower back, promoting core stability, thus improving your overall well being and athletic performance. The class is taught by a certified Pilates Instructor, who draws much from her yoga background. The small class size enables individual attention to each and every client.

The word “Yoga” comes from the Sanskrit word for “yoke”. The function of a yoke is to join, to connect. In yoga, we experience the union of body, mind and spirit. Yoga brings you the joy of reconnecting with your body and experiencing yourself in an accepting and loving way.

The wide range of yoga poses takes you on a journey that your body will love. You stretch your muscles, loosen stiff joints and gain strength through weight bearing poses. Yoga not only improves strength, flexibility and balance - the benefits reach beyond the physical. You will feel good about yourself, strong and self-confident. Yoga is for everybody; Come and experience it.

T'ai Chi is a series of flowing movements first developed as a martial art, but now more widely practiced as a health exercise. It is performed in a calm way that boosts energy while easing tension. T'ai Chi is practical because it teaches relaxation while being active. Instead of sitting motionless, students learn to stay centered and interact with the world. This is very important for people with stressful lives who want to find ways to interact with the world in less harmful ways.

The form used in the class was developed by Professor Cheng Man-Ching in the 1940's and is known as the Yang Short Form, (37 postures). Professor Cheng came to the United States in 1965 and taught in NYC. His form is now taught around the country and the world. Ed Bilanchone has studied this form for 12 years.
