Best Pilates Classes in Anderson, SC

This series is a great start for anyone that is new to yoga or has been considering getting started. It’s also a great opportunity to reacquaint yourself with the practice if you’ve been away from it for a while or are recovering from an injury or physical ailment. The 101 Series moves at a slower pace and includes a brief overview of Yoga's history and the 8 Limbs of Yoga. Taught in a workshop style, each 90-minute class in this series breaks down terminology and foundational poses (asanas) often found in group yoga classes with a focus on structural alignment, muscle memory and proprioception, overcoming instability during transition, understanding and learning to accommodate your own body in each of the postures, using props to modify or enhance your practice, and building trust, comfort, and confidence in the physical body. Basic breathwork (pranayama) will be integrated into each practice and broken down for a deeper understanding of the effects the breath has on body, mind, emotions, and overall well-being. Each class will offer a different style of meditation, encouraging the mind to slow down. The benefits and challenges of meditation will also be discussed. As the physical body becomes confident, comfortable, and relaxed, the mental, emotional, and energetic bodies follow. $125 | Pre-registration required.
