Folks usually feel strongly one way or the other but whichever side you're it’s time to start doing more. And learn how to do them correctly. Many of the benefits of squats are overshadowed by images of young, fit ladies and gentlemen posing their squat in a way that shows off their backside. This class is not about that. By mastering the squat you’ll:

Improve overall balance and prevent falls
Increase your lungs capacity for bigger, deeper breaths
Build your bone density to slow down, or prevent Osteoporosis
Boost circulation in the lower extremities
Make your small intestine work more efficiently

You’re ready to take your newfound mobility and flexibility from Healthy Hips Lvl 1 and apply it to learning variations of the squat.

For This Class You Will Need:

a yoga, or firm blanket
a sturdy chair

This is a Level 2 class:

These classes assume you have a basic understanding of common alignment cues and know when to modify for yourself when necessary.

Take classes in this level when/if you:

Notice you look at your screen to see the teacher demonstrate less.
Able to adjust your spine when cued. I.e. neutral, tuck, flex, extend, etc.
Able to maintain a stable pelvic position with no back discomfort while your legs are lifted.
Are beginning to coordinate breath with movement.

Katrina

Cancelled

Lvl 2: Easeful Posture (virtual) Description

This is a Live Stream Class:

Please have your camera and mic off during class. Live Stream Classes are recorded and added to our replay library. After a day of back-to-back zoom meetings, you give yourself a pat on the back. Your body feels pretty darn good. Easeful Posture Lvl 1 has you able to sit through a day like this without any back or shoulder discomfort. The faded sticky notes with the curling corners that were once your visual reminder to “Sit up tall! Shoulders down!” are barely still stuck on your monitor and you realize you haven’t needed or even noticed it in weeks. Strong, healthy posture is now effortless for you while working at your desk, or preparing meals for your family. But shoveling? You’re still sore the next day. And not the good kind of sore. Navigating through a room strewn with your kids, or grandkid’s toys? It’s only a matter of time before one takes you down. Easeful Posture Lvl 2 adds dynamic instability through the exercises you are familiar with. Your balance will be challenged and you’ll learn ways to maintain a healthy posture when you are in situations where you’re not so steady on your feet. This class will also improve your postural endurance making easeful posture your natural posture all day long.

For This Class You Will Need:

a 36" Foam Roller

Lvl 1: Healthy Hips (virtual) Description

This is a Live Stream Class:

Please have your camera and mic off during class. Live Stream Classes are recorded and added to our replay library. A common question asked of people who do pilates is “What do you get out of pilates class?” A common response is “strength and flexibility!”
That answer is correct but incomplete. Missing is one of the biggest benefits of all.

Mobility.

While Flexibility and mobility are related to one another, they are quite different.

FLEXIBILITY: The ability of a muscle to be lengthened.

MOBILITY: The ability to control movement through a range of motion within a joint

If you don’t have a healthy range of motion in a joint, stretching and strengthening the muscles around it can be a waste of time, or worse, it can put unnecessary strain on ligaments and tendons.

In Safe Moves Healthy Hips, we give our attention to your hips, where over 15 muscles are working together to give the hip joint mobility.

If the hips’ mobility is limited, your body will figure out another way to perform the movements you want to perform. This includes movements big and small, from bending over to tie your shoe to cross country skiing. Usually, it’s your back and knees that get recruited to make up for what the hip joints aren’t doing. Because the back and knees aren’t meant to do this job, It doesn’t take long to get to the inevitable—pain and injury.

For This Class You Will Need:

a sturdy chair

This is a Level 1 class:

A great starting point for anyone new to pilates mat, or exercise and movement in general. These classes will introduce you to the pilates principles, common alignment cues, and the essentials you need for success in higher-level classes.

Take classes in this level when/if you:

Are new to Pilates Mat Exercises
Need a slower-paced class with a lot of cues from the instructor
Are learning to stabilize one part of the body while moving another part
Need to consider physical limitations

“

I thought Pilates was some kind of torture exercise until a friend encouraged me to watch her class. Surprisingly the apparatus wasn't torturous, the exercises made sense and made me want to explore this type of exercise.
Finding The Pilates Studio in Hadley has been just what I needed. I'm fortunate to have Maureen as my introduction instructor and have followed her from small class instruction into the Bone Density Building class.
Maureen is Wicked AWESOME! She explains everything we're doing and why. She's always developing new exercises which keeps us interested and engaged as well as working all parts of our body. Maureen's calming influence and her wonderful "Ahh's", "That's it" and "Good job" are so warm and inspiring.
I have gained strength, am healing my shoulder and feel really good attending Pilates classes. The Pilates Studio is such a warm and inviting place as well.
Thanks, Maureen and staff!

I really didn't know what to expect when I met with Katrina last year for her to evaluate my legs and hips after both of my hips had been replaced two years ago. She knew exactly what exercises I needed to rebuild my strength and balance. The pilate exercise equipment has given my back support so that I have been pain free during all of the training. In the small group I attend, there is a mixture of ages and abilities, and each of us works on our own set of exercises under Katrina's direction. She couldn't be kinder. Even though there are pilates studies closer to me in Westfield, it is worth it to drive to Hadley for the excellent training I experience there.

I have been taking classes with Nancy for the past year and a half. She is a master teacher with a fun personality and endless energy. I attend her 7 a.m. mat class three times per week and she strives to continually keep it fun and new. I have also taken her Reformer and her Barre class and am always impressed with how knowledgable she is. Nancy makes all of her students feel welcome and comfortable in her class. She is an excellent Pilates Instructor and I highly recommend you taking a class from her!
