It will still be challenging and if you're not a beginner, there will be options to work deep and hard.

If you can’t decide which one you like or you like both yoga and pilates but only have time for one, this is the class for you. A fusion of the ancient discipline of yoga with the modern pilates techniques. The exercises mix both disciplines to develop core strength, help tone muscles, increase flexibility, and reduce stress.

Pilates focuses on stability, then strength and flexibility. Pilates helps develop a stable core, sometimes taken for granted in yoga classes.

A class especially for CPUC Employees. Held at California Public Utilities Commission, Golden Gate Training Room (unless otherwise noted on the sign-in sheet), 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94612 From the perspective of a well trained Pilates Instructor, working in an office day after day can wreak havoc on a body over time. Our shoulders round forward & our heads slide forward over our neck as we reach towards the computer; our necks and shoulders start to hurt with fatigue and stress; maybe we feel fatigue in our mid back or maybe we start gripping our glutes while we sit (yes our butts!) and develop sciatic nerve pain; maybe instead we grip our hip flexors (quads, psoas) and our lower back hurts. Pilates is great for getting your body out of those patterns and keeping you healthy and moving. Pilates is strength work that focuses on alignment and posture. Stick with it for 6 weeks or more and discover the unique feeling
