Targeted, gentle strengthening and stretching exercises of the fasciae
In this Pilates class with Maria you will learn simple exercises to strengthen, stretch and relax your body.
Fasciae are connective tissue structures that run through our body and support our muscles and organs. If they are stuck together or hardened, they can cause pain and restrictions. With targeted fascia exercises you can loosen your fascia and release adhesions.
Our program for this Pilates lesson:
The hour begins with a gentle, sweeping fascia workout that reaches the fascia tissue in all its layers.
In the main part are followed by targeted strengthening exercises and flowing movements that improve flexibility and mobility.
At the end of the hour Maria will guide you through a gentle relaxation session that calms and relaxes the fascia system, also called the sensorimotor nervous system.
Through regular training you will soon feel how your posture improves, tension pain decreases, you gain strength and suppleness and feel overall more comfortable and mobile. Try it out and let Maria guide you on your way to a healthier and fitter body!
