SPECIAL CLASSES.
Classes help you achieve a new fitness level and a clearer mindset. Pilates classes build strength through balanced motion, help you find your center alignment and increase your range of motion. Meditation classes increase awareness by developing all four levels of existence: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Yoga, an ancient form of exercise provides strength, balance and tranquility and leaves your body more limber and relaxed. Dance classes enhance posture and encourage more graceful body movement in a congenial and morale boosting atmosphere.
