Core-focused Pilates + Yoga Intensive
with Tricia, STOTT Pilates Trained Instructor, and Margo, E-RYT 500

Safer-at-Home and work-from-home leaving you too sedentary to feel your best, but unsure just how to move-at-home?

If you feel chronic pain, weakness, or tightness in your mid-back or lower back… have trouble engag- ing your core muscles – or knowing if they are even engaged!? – during workouts or yoga… or are just looking for ideas about simple workouts you can do at home to keep your core strong, then join Trish and Margo for this unique on-line Pilates + Yoga workshop.

Spend the afternoon:
– learning about functional anatomy and healthy movement in the spine and how the core supports it,
– and learn simple, do-at-home routines for strengthening and stretching “the right muscles” with a unique workout that incorporates Pilates and yoga.

No prior Pilates or yoga experience required.

What to Expect in Class: Margo’s Yoga Fundamentals classes are often mini workshop-like practices intended to build muscular endurance and offer opportunities to explore different variations of poses. Her flow-style classes are typically slowflow, focussing on strong, steady transitions with progressively building sequences, that often borrow tremendously from the Ashtanga tradition’s primary series. Margo’s Intermediate Level classes are designed for those already familiar with asana alignment and variations, so fewer alignment cues are given – allowing more time to incorporate more pranayama, meditation and yoga philosophy into these practices. And her Yoga Nidra classes typically begin with gentle, restorative yoga followed by guided meditation in supported Savasana.
Biggest Influences/Inspirations/Styles: Fellow Longevita teachers, Annie Carpenter, Robin Rothenberg, Julie Gudmestad, Iyengar Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Viniyoga, and Yoga Nidra.
