Overall Objectives for our Pilates Kids

Our objectives are reached through a series of active-learning classroom/group sessions where students experience the following:

  • Body Positioning & Awareness Skills (focused awareness, attention, and concentration) to shift one's focus from external stimuli to internal awareness of where the body is in space

  • Healthful Breathing to promote slowing down, reflecting and becoming present

  • Coordinated Breathing to sequence breathing patterns with movement, and then identify how the breath can make movements easier/harder

  • Core Strengthening to support healthy growth and development of the trunk and extremities. Core strengthening exercises also provide opportunities for understanding how using the core muscles can assist with a variety of other physical sport and non-sport related activities

  • Flexibility to demonstrate and identify the absence/presence of flexibility in key muscle groups which contribute to a healthy postural balance within the body

  • Concentration & Coordination exercises, to assist in the development of focused movement and concentration by means of choreographed movement sequences with changing tempos

  • Relaxation to promote balance and calm

  •  Socialization and Leadership   a social environment as well where kids will do partner work and demonstrate learned skills to help co-teach when they are ready

  • Group discussion to allow students an opportunity for inquiry and comment
