Pilates: Strong in body & Mind

This 8 week series builds strength while developing a deeper understanding of your body and how you experience movement. Sophie’s weekly class combines Pilates matwork with experiential anatomy to build strength and understanding of the body and mind. With particular attention to the core, you’ll explore how to understand, coordinate, and strengthen this area of the body while practicing movement that begins from the inside out. Each class includes a gentle warm-up, a brief anatomical exploration of a particular part of the body, Pilates matwork to engage and strengthen the muscles, and low-impact cardio to support the heart and lungs. Experiential anatomy connects what we know intellectually about the body with what we can actually feel and experience within it, helping us deepen our understanding of both the information and ourselves. • $20 drop-in• $90 five-class pack ($18 per class), interchangeable between Katie’s yoga and Sophie’s Pilates classes• $128 for Sophie’s full eight-week Pilates series ($16 per class) Register in person or online. 111 E Water Street, Decorah www.sissa.co
