PILATES HUMAN offers a variety of live and on demand classes (Mat, Reformer, Tower and mixed equipment). Each class is a unique experience. Classes are all open level. Why? Because the expectation is that all students are fully autonomous. We take a "choose your own adventure" strategy to group class. In our view, being a good listener makes a student "advanced;” it’s not the strongest or the most flexible. PILATES HUMAN teaches students to learn to stop and make good choices for themselves in real-time to become the most capable, agile, and resilient version of self.
PILATES
The fundamentals of movement start here. Pilates focuses on strengthening your deep core stabilizer muscles. In all workouts you will move through precise exercises that balance out instability in the body, bring awareness on how to properly use your core, and improve spine flexibility. Let’s reset the thinking of how to get superficial six-pack abs, and open your mind to building a solid core foundation.
MOBILITY
The energy you need to perform daily movements. Mobility energizes the body and brain together by activating specific muscle groups that supports daily functional movement. In all workouts, you will actively engage muscles that are tight, weak, or overused to improve total body strength, range of motion, and posture. Sitting is a part of our everyday lives, so let’s form new habits that make us move on purpose.
RELEASE
The natural stress relief. Release deeply relaxes and rejuvenates the body and mind using myofascial release, stretching, and breathing. In all workouts you will immediately relieve tension in the body and brain through movement and mindfulness. Releasing tension in the body is releasing toxic thoughts in the brain.
Who teaches the classes? Anula. Who makes sure everything works? Lindsay. They met while working together virtually during lockdown. Anula has 15 years of experience teaching Pilates and Lindsay brings 15 years of experience in the business world. Combined they decided to create PILATES HUMAN.
"We formed PH because we saw a need for a remote learning practice space. A space where humans can get together and simply move, learn and be in community with each other. PILATES HUMAN takes a "yes... and" approach to movement possibilities. Our mission is to offer as many opportunities as possible for live-virtual classes, emphasizing the human connection. Let’s humanize virtual learning! We don't want students to be strangers to us or each other."
Always inspiring and inventive, Tower class is all the work of Mat with the fun of springs mixed in. Giving you all the feels and serving you playful challenge. It's a favorite on repeat and Anula keeps it fresh. Highly recommend.
Within the *@?%-storm that has been the pandemic I had the EXTREME LUCK of finding Anula teaching online. Her classes are fun, creative, challenging, informed & inclusive. One of the things I love most is her encouragement of exploration and for me to trust the knowledge I have my own body. HUGE HOORAY FOR THE AMAZING, ANULA!!
It's difficult to explain how much I enjoy Anula's classes. They challenge me both mentally and physically. Nothing in her classes is ever phoned in; she keeps it fresh and weird.
What an amazing class. It was fun and challenging. It’s so nice to feel my own progress after just a handful of classes. I would recommend this class to anyone!
