Menopause Pilates Instructor Program

PILATES FOR MENOPAUSE™

Over the last few years it has become apparent that menopausal women need a specific program that includes strength training, cardiovascular workouts and most importantly stretching and releasing, breathing and relaxation.

We believe it is a fallacy to think that you can “slow down” during this time and take things easy. If you really want your body to continue to function well into your seventies, you have to start working not just harder but smarter.

Women today are much more active, informed and focused on their health and fitness than they were several decades ago. Many have been exercising for years and are not about to stop now they are reaching a certain age. This group of women is either pre-menopausal or in the midst of it and dealing with the changes that it brings. They would appreciate all the help they can get.

Pilates is a mind body experience just like menopause is. We can use the philosophy of Pilates to help women through this time. There are symptoms of the mind; there are changes in the body and a reawakening of the soul or spirit of these women. It can be a truly amazing time if they are given the tools necessary to cope with the trials and tribulations of menopause.
