I talk to clients daily about areas of tightness and discomfort, and by far the most common trouble spots are the neck and lower back. The missing piece for so many? Posture work.
When we work on posture, we’re not just “sitting up straighter”. We’re teaching the body how to support itself better so you can sit, stand and move with more ease, less tension and better alignment.
The Workouts
The RISE & ALIGN Program includes a 3 week calendar of 5 x weekly Pilates strength and stretch sessions.
The brand NEW classes included in the RISE & ALIGN Program are:
Posture Reset – This class is all about core strength and spinal alignment. You will strengthen your posture-supporting deep core muscles and find mobility, flexibility and alignment in your spine. Stand taller, move with ease, and feel stronger from the inside out.
Upper Body and Posture – Targeting your arms, shoulders and upper back to build strength, improve alignment and support better posture. Incorporating strong but controlled movements, this class will enhance upper body stability so you can stand taller with confidence.
If you spend a lot of time sitting, feel stiff in you shoulders and back, or catch yourself slouching regularly, then the RISE & ALIGN Program is for you!
