June Session: Classic Mat Pilates at Oyster Catcher

Originally called Contrology, Classical Pilates is a mindful system of exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the body by focusing on your “powerhouse” – the core muscles that support and initiate movement. Through intentional, controlled exercises, Pilates helps improve flexibility, balance, posture, and overall strength while addressing compensatory weaknesses that can contribute to chronic injuries.

This progressive mat-based class will begin with the foundational exercises of the Classical Pilates system, making it perfect for beginners and welcoming to all men and women, with plenty of opportunity to grow and advance over time. No prior experience needed – just come ready to move and learn. Please bring your own mat, as they are not available at Oyster Catcher.

  • When: June 1 – June 24
  • Time: Mondays and Wednesdays at 8:30am
  • Cost: $160 for the series
  • Contact: nancyctrapp@icloud.com to register
