This course introduces students to the basic Pilates floor exercises, which are designed to increase strength in abdominal and spinal musculature. Students engage in activities and exercises designed to increase awareness of body alignment; strength in the torso, spine, and limbs; and endurance. By engaging in activities, students also learn breathing techniques to utilize in strength training exercises, how to increase coordination and improve balance, and about the muscle groups and their actions being utilized during traditional Pilates mat work. This course is suitable for students interested in conditioning, dance, Hatha Yoga, and athletics, as well as students seeking to increase strength to better support the spine during everyday activities.
