This class is for those who want to build strength, stability, and confidence moving. We will use Pilates principles paired with progressive overload (repeating movements with multiple sets) to fatigue our muscles and thus build strength. All exercises are designed to be safe and effective. All abilities are welcome, no previous experience is required. Variations and modifications will always be given to work within your limits while still challenging yourself. Building a strong body helps to prevent injury, lose fat, and create a lifestyle where movement is accessible as we age. Try out our Core Lite Class on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 AMOr our Core Strong class with weights Thursday evenings at 5:30 PMBoth programs are accessible for all levels of fitness. **You are required to bring a yoga mat and water.****If you are signed up for a Thursday program you may bring your own weights or use Prescott's.** Here is what they are saying about Emma's Core Strength & Conditioning Class: "Emma is very motivating, always positive!" "Focuses on core, but also works to strengthen the entire body, because it's all connected. I like that the class is designed to become progressively more challenging week by week and, because the majority of the class has been taking the class for several sessions, session by session. Emma always shows modifications for people of all levels. She is a very good teacher." "The exercises (challenging!); the instructor’s enthusiasm & encouragement!" "The class was challenging and fun! I feel stronger since starting. Emma is a wonderful teacher." "The class offered challenging exercises, but instructor provides different levels of difficulty as needed. Good communication anddemonstration by instructor. Enjoyed using the weights and twisting!""Emma’s upbeat and encouraging spirit!""It was nice being able to go at my own speed (some moves were painful) and really appreciated theoptions for doing it low impact. The instructor, Emma, was awesome!"

This course is for new moms who want to rehab their bodies through intentional breath and movement, but can’t find the time with the busy schedule a newborn requires! Bring your baby (0-1) and learn some simple yet effective exercises you can do with your little one!

You will leave this class feeling energized and ready to embrace life with a newborn! This is also a great opportunity to connect with other new moms in a friendly and supportive environment.

"What is the best style of Tai Chi to practice?" My immediate thought is, "Like any exercise, the best one is the one you will do!" I have studied several Tai Chi and Qigong forms over the last 25 years, which I share in this two-hour weekly practice. The first hour is devoted to warm-up Qigong exercises, followed by instruction and practice of a form called WuJi Tai Chi, or Tai Chi for Liberation. It is quick to learn and designed to gather energy internally for health. The second hour is devoted to a more traditional Yang-style Tai Chi form: Cheng Man-ching's 37-step short form. Warm-down Qigongs follow this. Throughout these lessons, I weave in Taoist and Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophies, which link external forms to internal health benefits. Students of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to come, learn, and engage in community. You are welcome to come for any portion of the class that interests you, or stay for the whole session, which provides a great workout! I dynamically adjust the curriculum to the needs and desires of you, the participants. My wife Joni is a skilled instructor and often teaches and coaches with me. Here is what they are saying about Pat's Tai Chi class: "It was at a level that a novice like me could feel comfortable at." "It was a very good introduction to Tai Chi, I knew nothing about the discipline." "Pat was very knowledgeable and patient." "I particularly liked in the beginning when he worked with everyone in the class individually to make sure we were doing key foundational moves correctly." "The class was very relaxed, with gentle instruction, and no pressure to conform to rigid guidelines of the Tai Chi forms. It was more of a do what you can and what works for you environment. Pat is a wonderful teacher, patiently explaining and demonstrating the forms, all the while interjecting some of the philosophy, science, traditions and energy movements of Tai Chi."
