Greetings Friends,
It's amazing to look into the upcoming weeks and realize that our Expansion is going to open soon! While we don't yet have a firm date, we know construction will be completed some time in August and also that the weeks will fly past in between now and then.
We know you're getting excited too so we wanted to share some more about all of the new classes coming soon!
Reformer Pilates is our original love and will always be center-stage. Lynelle and Nancy will continue to offer a variety of Reformer classes for all skill and ability levels. We firmly believe in the power of Reformer Pilates to heal and strengthen the body is a gentle manner accessible to most people and for a bit more on our philosophy you can click here.
Mat Pilates, just like Reformer Pilates, is low-impact exercise focused on building strength, flexibility, posture, and balance. Instead of using specialized equipment (the Reformer), Nancy's Mat classes provide a full-body workout with just a few pieces of simple gear. Think of this as Pilates on the go! Your Mat practice will support your Reformer practice, giving you tools to easily do Pilates anywhere, at home or on travel. Participants must be able to get up and down off the floor without assistance.
Cycling is a low-impact (easy on the joints) workout on our Keiser stationary bikes. Nancy aims to elevate your heartrate for cardio-pulmonary health and challenge your core and lower body muscle groups with appropriate posture and technique. Go at your own pace- this class is accessible to most people!
Barre is a series of small, repetitive moments utilizing one's own body weight and a few simple props to build strength and muscle tone. Barre is designed to exhaust muscle groups so you will have "the shakes"! Nancy will lead activities at the ballet barre for support and stability; no dance background required. This low-impact (easy on the joints) class does not involve jumping, dancing, or aerobics-type movements and is accessible to everyone able to performing standing exercise for 50 minutes.
Proudly introducing Hybrid, a TerraLuna original offering. This class is Nancy's passion: 20-30 minutes of cycling to elevate the heart rate combined with the strength training, cool down, and stretching of 20-30 minutes on the Reformer. It's the best of both worlds and the perfect introduction to shorter increments of cycling.
Yoga is a practice of gentle movement. It can include meditative aspects if one wishes but yoga is not a religious practice in any way. Erin will be leading both of the following:
Yoga for Strength a traditional yoga flow seamlessly integrated with strength-building exercises. Expect an extensive warm up flow with a challenging peak of body-weight bearing movements like planks and squats and concluding with a calming cool down to ensure your body feels balanced and rejuvenated. This class is designed to enhance your strength and balance your energy so that you can take on life’s tasks with a little more ease.
Yoga for Flexibility a class designed to enhance your range of motion and overall mobility through traditional yoga flows. Expect an extensive warm-up leading to a peak that challenges your flexibility with deep, sustained stretches. We'll conclude with a soothing cool down to leave your body feeling balanced and rejuvenated, so you can move through life with greater fluidity.
It honestly all feels a little bit surreal! We are so proud that we are able to present so many new classes and the reason we're able to do this can be summed up in two words: You and our Teachers.
We feel beyond grateful to have found Nancy and Erin, two well-rounded, highly trained, and passionate teachers who bring so many wonderful skills to the Studio. If it weren't for these two professionals we truly wouldn't be offering all of these new classes! Thank you Nancy and thank you Erin!
And last but not least: You! We wouldn't be offering any classes at all, let alone so many exciting new classes, if it weren't for you. Thank you for being a part of the TerraLuna family, for your business, for supporting us through transitions, sharing your love and enthusiasm for Pilates with your friends and family and most of all, for believing in us.
We look forward to sharing this next steps of the journey together.
May you find peace in each day and joy in your body.
Blessings,
Lynelle
