Glutes Hips Core Hamstrings: Pilates Reformer with Erin

This Pilates Reformer class has a distinctly therapeutic and integrative focus. The extensive use of the large exercise ball creates unique proprioceptive challenges while providing joint-friendly resistance work. The class emphasizes functional movement patterns through advanced lunge work and standing carriage exercises that translate directly to daily activities. The progressive structure allows participants to work at their own level while still being challenged. What makes this session particularly special is its focus on balance, proprioception, and hip health - addressing common issues from modern sedentary lifestyles. The mindful, meditative approach with emphasis on breath and centering creates both physical and mental benefits, making it ideal for stress reduction alongside fitness goals.
