And a Special Earth Hour event on Saturday March 31st starting at 7:30pm to 9:30pm!

BONUS! Make it a long weekend by adding a 3rd night all-inclusive for only $149 pp!

Come and experience a flowing sequence of core-based exercises that will teach your body to move with ease and efficiency. Improve your strength, flexibility, posture and balance. Develop a self-awareness of functional movement in your every-day life, and recreational activities. Enjoy a relaxing yet energizing workout.

Joseph Pilates devised a series of exercises in his native Germany, which were then brought to North America when he immigrated to New York in the 1920’s. Originally developed to assist dancers with body alignment, and the repair of muscle injuries, the work has evolved into a contemporary form which can be embraced by all, from 9 to 90!

This group experience is suitable for all fitness levels, from novice to advanced, and incorporates elements from a variety of disciplines, such as yoga, tai chi, strength training, and balance work.

After participating in these sessions, you will feel lengthened and strengthened! We will learn to use effective breathing techniques, to engage the core to stabilize our bodies, and to enjoy a more natural ease of movement. You will begin to develop a self-awareness of good postural habits, and to experience a whole-body sense of well-being. Pilates truly is “movement for life!”

Earth Hour Special Evening Presentation: Saturday March, 31st, 7:30 to 9:30pm ~ This Earth Day come and celebrate all the worlds of Grandmother Earth, plants, minerals, animals, humans and ancestor spirits. Through ancient earth medicine learn about your connection to all your relations and join us for a meditation to honor these sacred relationships. The Thundering Dawn Drummers will help us awaken our voices and hearts through song and chant.
