YOGA, PILATES & FITNESS
Yoga is a 5,000-year-old
Eastern philosophy which incorporates the mind, body and
soul in a mutually supportive relationship. The word “yoga”
in Sanskrit means "to unite”, and so yoga connotes to an
integrative discipline uniting mind, body and soul to find
inner peace, joy and harmony. As you practice yoga, you will
develop correct body alignment, gain flexibility and improve
your strength, coordination and endurance while
simultaneously building self-confidence and inner peace.
Pilates is a system of
exercises designed to strengthen the abdominal core of the
body while teaching awareness of correct alignment and
proper breathing. By focusing on the core postural muscles,
Pilates helps keep the body balanced and provides essential
support for the spine. It is about moving with mindfulness,
precision and control and is a powerful, effective way to:
• Transform the way your body looks and performs
• Build strength without bulk
• Increase flexibility and agility
• Develop optimal core control and function
Improve posture, balance and coordination for more stamina
and endurance. One With Nature Center offers Pilates both on
the mat and on the special Pilates specialized apparatus
such as Reformer, Tower, Cadillac and Chair.
