ABC Classes taught by Louise Helmer: Physical Therapist Assistant and Power Pilates Teacher Trainer.
Have you heard about the specialty class I offer at Bodylines? A.B.C. Mat Class offered on Tuesdays (live stream and in-studio) & Thursdays (in-studio only) @ 10:30 am & A.B.C. Semi-Private (on the equipment) on Wednesdays @ 10:30 am.
This specialty class is designed to help you combat the challenges of overuse injuries, an aging body, or simply seeking optimal health.
There are (3) main components we work on in each class:
1- Alignment. Proper body alignment helps you avoid injury, provides stability and balance, and helps you get the most out of your movements. In short, this class is essential for anyone looking to have a safe and effective workout.
Not sure where to start when it comes to proper body alignment? Don’t worry, I got you covered. In this class, I’m watching your alignment throughout each move, so you can learn within your own body what “proper alignment” feels like.
2- Balance. Not only are we working on improving your ability to balance but I’ve structured the class, so you are working the balance of the muscle groups. Therefore, one side of your body doesn’t become stronger than the other. This helps to eliminate a risk of injury.
3- Core. Of course, strengthening the core is essential to Pilates. In this class, we do a deeper dive on proper recruitment of the deep abdominal muscles that truly support your back and lead to improved posture. I have found this is essential to improving posture, eliminating back pain, and making other activities and sports more accessible.
This class is intentionally a slower paced class with a focus on the details. I’d like to think that clients come to this class to ensure they are getting all the fundamental movements for life!
Hope to see you in class!
