Adapt classic Pilates movements to a seated format with this accessible, low-impact workout. Designed to improve mobility and build functional strength, this class uses a sturdy chair to help you achieve a stronger body. Begin by waking up your muscles and gently increasing your range of motion. Slow controlled movements will target abdominal muscles to promote better alignment and spinal stability.

Unwind with relaxing, seated stretches designed to release tension and improve overall flexibility.

More fun than you can possibly stand - while seated! Come enjoy this fun-filled game played with a beach ball. Chair volleyball is great for upper body mobility and joint flexibility. It enhances your muscle tone, reflexes, hand-to-eye coordination, and endurance.
