A 35 minute full body strength class focussing on activation, stability, and controlled strength.

We start with a glute bridge sequence, holding a Pilates block between the inner thighs to activate the hamstrings, glutes, and inner thighs. As we add weighted upper body moves like chest flies and overhead tricep extensions, we integrate subtle calf raises for a full body burn.

Next, we move into a staggered kneeling proposal position, targeting the biceps, triceps, shoulders, and rear delts as we flow through hinges, scooters, squats, and high energy squat presses to finish.

We then take this work into a standing sequence, using the block again between the thighs, pairing squats with bicep curls, frontal offerings, and double calf raises.

After repeating the kneeling work on the second side, we finish with an express core sequence in a four point kneel, using a hand to knee tap to engage the deep core while grounding with a mindful 360 Pilates breath (commonly associated with “hug the baby” breath in pregnancy. Expect a strong, balanced class that supports full-body strength and deep core awareness.
