STRETCH & PILATES – flexibility class
A new class, especially designed for all of us :)
WEDNESDAYS 7.20 pm-8.20 pm
Open level class: no experience needed, all levels welcome.
- We have Zumba before at 6.15-7.10pm: it's an excellent combination to to take both classes for a very complete work-out. But you can of course take just one class if you prefer.
- Last spring season class: June 26th. We'll start again January 2025 since teacher absent autumn 2024.
During autumn instead a Hatha Yoga class! First date September 11th.
PRESENTATION:
This class that draws together features of PILATES and DANCE STRETCHING does us immensly good, and is the perfect complement to our cardio Zumba classes, and our Muscle strengthening classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Our experienced teacher is licenced and experienced to teach Pilates, and a professional contemporary and ballet dancer. She corrects us individually and in addition gives alternatives for our different levels.
We'll start the class with a warm-up, then mix dynamic exercises with static exercises where we hold the pose longer, and finish with a relaxation. Some parts of the class will be recurrent, other vary from class to class.
Due to a sedentary lifestyle most of us start loosing 1 % of flexibility per year from our early thirties (!). Micro-stresses on our muscles can glue them together into scar tissue that tightens the surrounding tissue and restraints our range of movement, resulting in a lack of flexibility that ages us. The aim of our stretching is to give us pain-free, active, full range of movement where we can stretch further without even feeling the stretch - thus feel freer! The aim is also to improve circulation and posture.
- Pilates: is a low impact but powerful exercise technique that strengthens our muscles while keeping them balanced and flexible. It accentuates posture and alignment in slow movements, focusing on precision and control.
- Dance stretching: flexibility building techniques from the professional dance world, both stretching and strengthening muscles.
