Learning New Tricks

by anyhusmoen

A little over a year ago, I became interested in mat pilates. So much so, that in the fall of 2022, I started the Balanced Body Mat Pilates teacher training program and trained at two local studios; Paragon Pilates and Awaken Pilates. Spoiler alert, it is COMPLETELY different from yoga. While yoga is all about linking expansive postures with the breath, pilates is all about getting deep into the muscle layers with your breath. I recently told a pilates student that while yoga usually feels really good during a class, pilates typically feels really good AFTER the class. At least, this is what I have personally experienced. It is challenging, but I love the challenge.

I am currently teaching a Beginning Mat Pilates class at the Yoga Center Retreat and will be adding a morning class at a new studio starting April 2nd. For those who are willing to rise and shine for a 7:00am Mat Class, you can join me Tuesday mornings at the Communal Studio at West End. The studio is owned by Una Setia and offers a variety of class and workshops; I am very excited to be part of it.
