Group Sessions
Due to COVID-19, all group sessions will take place virtually until safety protocols allow us to meet as a group in the Studio.
The Mat Work is the foundation of the entire Pilates repertoire. It is a series of exercises taught in a progressive sequence. No equipment is needed, except for your body and a mat, and therefore, you can take it with you wherever you go! These exercises move your body through a beautiful exploration of movement in the spine. Within the Mat work you learn abdominal control, proper breathing, concentration, centering, precision, posture, body awareness and all of the principles at work in the Pilates Method. You gain strength and stability in the core muscles and you also acquire the flexibility that your body craves. Class size is limited so that the teacher can address the needs of every student and offer modifications or individual adjustments when necessary.
Due to the fact that Classical Mat Work progresses in stages, The Studio does not offer mixed level or drop in based classes. In order to ensure continuation and consistency, all classes have designated levels and many require previous experience. Classes meet twice weekly and registration is required. However, drop in status is available when space permits for devoted students with a schedule conflict or for visitors whose vacation on island is for a shorter duration.
Book a class.
We can’t meet in the Studio right now, but join the Lisa on Zoom.
In this new now, you can sign up and pay for classes individually. Sign up will close one hour before class.
When payment is confirmed you will receive a invitation to a Zoom meeting with a Password. If you've never done this before (as was the case for me) do not worry, there is a lot of "How To" help out there in the Zoom and Google worlds, but I have attached a link to a YouTube Video that I found easy to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh50kVaIdAY
It is much easier to join a "meeting" with a computer, phones are difficult to work with in this instance.
Think about your space and set up. In my practice classes, we have found that setting up your mat so that I can see a side view works best. (If you don't have a mat, just use a blanket or a big bath or beach towel.)
Please join class early, especially if it's your first time. That way, we can try to work out any bugs and get you placed comfortably.
Another reason to come early is that class will be closed after the start time. Since this is new to me, I'm not yet mentally coordinated enough to handle latecomers after class begins.
"Pilates is always the best part of my day. No matter how I feel walking into class, I always feel amazing when I leave. The wonderful energy in the studio and the level of deep core work and individualized instruction combined with Lisa's mastery of the human physiology and classical pilates itself, all lend to create an incredible environment for exercise. My flexibility, strength, energy and confidence have all changed remarkably under her skillful hands. After four years of pilates with Lisa, my only wish is that I found her years earlier!" - Jessica
