Polarity Pilates

About this event

Forget the reformer—the pole is your new favorite piece of Pilates equipment. In this unique hybrid class, we use the pole as a stationary partner to enhance classic mat exercises. Whether you are using it for assisted leverage in a teaser, as a stabilizer for leg circles, or as a resistance anchor for upper body conditioning, the pole adds a unique dimension of tension and support that you won't find on a standard mat. Some sequences will incorporate the pole, using it to find better alignment or to add resistance. Pole-Specific Conditioning: We target the muscles used in climbing and inverting to increase strength and endurance. Active Flexibility: Using the pole to deepen stretches while maintaining the "active" muscle engagement that Pilates is famous for. Expect the slow, controlled burn of Mat Pilates, amplified by the pole. Who This Is For: Class is for all levels, perfect for cross-training, or a fresh twist on traditional Pilates. No pole experience is required. What To Bring: Water. Leggings or shorts. Barefoot or grippy socks. Avoid lotion on your hands. YOGA MAT REQUIRED (rental mats available).
