Hello my friends! Last night, I had two neighbors who was excited for a pilates/yoga/stretch class down a the gym. One, a woman from Brazil, had tried pilates before but not yoga, and the other, a woman from Russia, seemed to have taken a lot of yoga but maybe less pilates, so I really tried to do a mix. Since this was the first time we did this I wanted to start off with some basics and focus on proper placements. We ended up doing a bit more pilates blended with just a little yoga. From a yoga pose like downdog directly in to a pilates exercise. I think it turned out pretty awesome. Since stretching was requested, I took some extra time on that but we still didn’t get to stretch some of the muscles that we had worked on. They got to finish with a well deserved savasana which was a nice way to end our hour of workout.
I’ve never taught a class like this, it has always been dance or movement classes. But I know enough to teach both pilates and yoga. And stretching is kinda my thing, haha. Depending on peoples schedules, we will try to do this on Mondays from now on. My parents are coming tomorrow so I’m not sure I can teach next week, but after that I’m happy to teach every week. I think it will be fun:)
