You can register, and we will send you a link after. All those who attend live will also get the link to watch again to do at home if they wish. Don’t take our word for it. Check out what one of our happy clients had to say: “I am well into my 60s and have enjoyed playing tennis, both socially and in league competition, for many years without injury. I credit the pairing of my tennis practice with a weekly Pilates session (mostly under the gifted instruction of Beth Scalone!) to keep me out of harm’s way. Core strength has been an invisible gift, one that I would not have understood had it not been for wise counsel, encouragement, and experience. To quote (or paraphrase) Dr. Scalone: ‘Pilates keeps you strong and secure so that you can enjoy the sports you love without injury.’ Thanks, Beth!” –Shauna
TRUNK ROTATIONS ON REFORMER: This exercise works hip and arm stability while developing core strength and trunk flexibility. It also helps improve your forehand, backhand, and volleys. SALUTES ON REFORMER: Working with springs from the reformer, use this overhead press to work the triceps and core for a more powerful serve.
MERMAIDS: This develops trunk, shoulder, and hip mobility; prevents imbalance in the spine; and helps you gain range in your overhead reach.
