Pilates (Magic Circle!) for Dancers with Mia Wenger

This 75 minute Magic Circle mat workout is designed specifically for dancers by a dancer. Pilates has long been considered a friend of dancers. Many of Joseph Pilates students were dancers and for good reason. Dancers often overwork certain muscular groups or one side of their body while Pilates aims to create balance in the body.

In class, we will address dancer’s common muscular imbalances and challenge your awareness of your bodies own intricacies. Class will begin with drawing awareness to our postural alignment before diving into both isometric and dynamic movement. Class will contain both mat & standing work. Participants will use a Magic Circle to help deepen the connection to the Powerhouse. We will be using internal resistance & mind body connection to deepen the exercises.

By the end of the class you will leave feeling more connected to your body, lifted through the powerhouse and lengthened through your legs. Learn to find strength & defense against common injuries through movement built for your needs.
