Welcome to this gentle mat class led by Erin Wilson, an instructor for the online streaming platform Pilates Anytime. You will learn how to incorporate gentle movements to strengthen your

Use two pillows to assist you in opening the sides of your body and the front of your hips. This class offers modifications for all fitness levels throughout the class. All abilities are

welcome. It’s important that you each listen to your own body and move at your own pace throughout this class. You can stop at any time and skip any movements that are not comfortable.

Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
