 mple and persistent stressors of modern-day life wear on our bodies\, yet 
 what to do and where to start to counter these effects baffles us. Using P
 ilates as a medium we can not only alleviate many of these maladies but al
 so take our bodies to a whole new level of movement\, we never thought pos
 sible. Join Certified Pilates Instructor Mike Chalfin in this 6-month clas
 s where we’ll start with the basics of core alignment and make our way t
 o the hips and shoulders. Our intention here in this class is to master th
 e fundamentals before moving on to more complex movements\, positions\, an
 d postures. It’s important that everyone participating glean the most in
 sight and understanding possible\, so we’ll be moving at a slow pace wit
 h plenty of time for questions and answers. \nAll fitness levels are welco
 me\, and students can join at any time. \nThursdays • 10:45am – 11:45a
