Pilates focuses on core stabilization to build a strong and well aligned trunk and spine, abdominal strength for increased low back support, muscle length for a longer lean look and breath work for increased vitality and energy. Pilates has proven itself invaluable not only as a fitness endeavor itself, but also as an important adjunct to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation of all kinds.
Free introduction sessions are prerequisites to review safety, body positioning while performing exercises, breathing patterns and your medical history before before attending regular Pilates classes. Pilates classes will be held on Wednesday mornings at 9:30am, Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm and Saturday mornings at 8:30am. The next Free Intro Class will be Wednesday night, September 1st at 6:30pm.
Class size will be limited to 8. A package of 5 consecutive classes will be $70 or a package of 10 classes will $130. Private and semi-private instruction is available for $70 per hour. If you have previous Pilates experience you may not need the intro class ~ please speak with the instructor.

What is Music Therapy?
Music therapists use music creatively to help their clients address social, emotional or physical problems. Music therapists seek to establish an interaction - a shared musical experience - in the pursuit of therapeutic goals. These goals are determined by the therapist's understanding of the client's pathology and personal needs. Music therapists assess emotional well-being, physical health, social functioning, communication abilities, and cognitive skills through musical responses; design music sessions for individuals and groups based on client needs using music improvisation, receptive music listening, song writing, lyric discussion, music and imagery, music performance, and learning through music; participate in interdisciplinary treatment planning, ongoing evaluation, and follow up.

ZERO BALANCING
ZERO BALANCING I I
ZB II will be held soon
ABOUT ZERO BALANCING:
Zero Balancing (ZB) is a unique, hands on, body-mind system of healing.
Combining Eastern and Western concepts of healing and anatomy, ZB clarifies
and coordinates energy fields in the body by accessing the deepest currents –
in the bones and joints. ZB offers the opportunity to work with expanded
states of consciousness and to address the energetic field imbalances that
precede illness.
Zero Balancing promotes a clear state of balance, which helps relieve pain,
promotes health and healing and a foundation for happiness. ZB also reduces
stress related tension, deepens self-awareness, and brings a person closer to
their true nature.
BENEFITS OF STUDY:
ZB I students learn to
navigate the energetic and structural anatomies of the body’s foundational
structures and explore the body’s consciousness through touch. On completion
of the class, ZB I practitioners will have the basic skills needed to
integrate ZB into their established work and also to practice full Zero
Balancing sessions. Health care practitioners using Zero Balancing skills
find themselves able to serve their clients/patients more completely, work
with less effort, and feel greater satisfaction. ZB principles and
skills can be integrated into many types of health care practices including
but not limited to Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Physical Therapy,
Chiropractic, Nursing, Psychotherapy, Osteopathy, Medicine and Naturopathic
Medicine.
EVERY STUDENT WILL RECEIVE A ZB SESSION FROM TEACHER OR CERTIFIED ASSISTANT –
ADDED VALUE $85!
