Inside Out Fitness with Tracy
Every Tuesday and Thursday from 1:30 – 2:30pm. Starting 3/7/2023
Manage & relieve pain. Create space in your joints and muscles. Stretch & strengthen simultaneously. Strengthen postural muscles that are causing you to slump, slouch and stumble. Become stronger than you’ve ever been. Safely & gently change your body from the inside out, not the outside in.
Tracy specializes in orthopedic assessment and massage, neuromuscular therapy and sport massage, serving clients for 15 years. This, along with experience in teaching Qi Gong and Tai Qi, led her to develop an approach to safely, yet deeply, affect change in the physical and energetic body. You will learn to use simple rollers and techniques to address myofascial restrictions that keep us out of alignment. You will also be introduced to basic principles of anatomy and movement to empower you to stay mobile, standing tall, and moving with greater comfort and efficiency. Find ease and relief of post-op recovery and/or chronic pain.

Pilates with Kristine

Kristine’s teaching style is grounded in classical Pilates, a system of more than 500 exercises developed by Mr. Joseph Pilates to bring the body back into balance. She also brings her knowledge of anatomy, functional movement, development movement and ideokinesis to each session. Through hands-on guidance Kristine creatively adapts to the diverse needs and learning styles of her clients to help each person “constantly strive to acquire strong, healthy bodies and develop our minds to the limit of our ability” (Joseph Pilates, Return to Life through Contrology). The goal is to find better posture, a reconnection of your limbs into your body, a strong supple spine, improved breath capacity, restored vitality, an improved mind and an elevated spirit. You will leave each session feeling better than when you came in.
