Pilates is a safe, yet challenging way to develop a strong, balanced core. Core strength is an important part of an exercise program because a body with balanced strength and flexibility is less likely to be injured.

By emphasizing proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and concentration on fluid movements, Pilates elongates and strengthens muscles, improving flexibility and joint health.

Pilates is a method of exercise that is therapeutic for all bodies. It is gentle because many of the postures are in a reclining or lying down position, and exercises can be modified for beginner to advanced students.

In 2010 Shannan began her study of various massage techniques (Craniosacral therapy, Myofascial release, Compressive Deep Tissue & Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) at Calcopa Massage School in Huntington Beach, Ca. Shannan saw that movement alone was not enough to create balance and strength in the body. Throughout your Pilates workouts she is constantly determining which muscles need massage work to promote muscular flexibility and joint stability in the body. Bodywork is a most important part of the Pilates session.

Sixty minute Bodywork sessions are also available. See Rates below.
