Pilates

These  classes are great for people with joint problems since we are mostly on the ground.  Pilates builds strength in the abs, arms and legs, as well as increasing flexibility, and endurance to create a healthy, balanced and strong body.We use pilates rings, resistance bands and large balls (bring your own or use one from the studio)
Review:  I’ve been doing Pilates with Hiyala for 6+-years, and absolutely love it! She’s fantastic, funny and nice. Small group, music, totally upbeat and relaxing. Medicine for the soul. Deb

Hiyala also incorporates some Pilates into her yoga classes.

  For new students!  or those who haven't been to yoga for awhile: Spring is a time of new possibilities.  If  you've been looking for a way to re-connect with your body in a meaningful way..... if you have a new commitment to creating better health for yourself, ... sign up for this yoga class.  For those who are more youthfull, athletic  or advanced, I will offer more challenging poses.  For those who are feeling stiff and less confident, (beginners), I will introduce you to some of the basic poses as well as the breathing that we do .  Please sign up by contacting me via email:  blaineyoga@gmail.com.  I will ask you to pay $10 in advance so that I know for sure that we will have enough people for a class.  I look forward to meeting you! I used to wonder about the Bunnies and Eggs theme of Easter.  I mean, how do Bunnies and Eggs (and candy) relate to Christ?    In pagan times, before Christ, and before Easter was a holiday, the people celebrated the nicer weather of Spring t

Spring is in the air...(sometimes).   It was a nice sunny day.  I even got to cross country ski at Turtle Lake Park. The wind did make it a bit nippy tho, so I only went around the park one and 1/2 times.. Didn't make it onto the lake as I had planned. A new session of two months  will begin starting the first week of March.  It will run through the end of April for a total of 9 weeks.  You don't have to sign up for the entire session, we feel it is the way to feel the most successful in this practice at our studio.  It helps to create the sense of community that we appreciate so much during these times of political turmoil and confusion. Hiyala's class:  Tues am 9:30-10:45. Ruth teaches Thursdays "Chair Yoga" 5-6pm and "Body Flow" from 6:15-7:30pm. Hiyala also teaches a mat pilates class on Thursdays from 10-11am. To sign up, just email me and let me know your intentions.  I'll help you determine the rate you need to pay, and it'
