THE WORKOUT

Plyo Pilates is a very unique blend of exercises that fuses Pilates, Yoga, Martial Arts, and Dance into one powerful and inspiring mat class! Plyometrics are added for power throughout the workout. These movements increase the intensity and up the calories burned, and it will train the body to be more explosive and powerful in its movements.  The Pilates Principals are embedded in every movement to align the body, shape your waistline and lengthen your hips and thighs. All levels of fitness can experience this dynamic workout at various intensity levels. This workout is so different- you will be feeling it, thinking about it, and wanting more of it!
