All of our classes combine core conditioning, the Lotte Berk Method, yoga, Pilates and orthopedic stretching to achieve strength, flexibility and balance. The class is broken down into 4 sections– warmup, thighs, seat, and abdominals, using a blend of concentric and eccentric movements and isometric exercises to fatigue the muscles and lengthening stretches to increase flexibility. The result is long, lean and toned muscles similar to that of a dancers body. The class fuses the results and attention of a personal trainer session with the dynamic energy of a group atmosphere.
