True hot pilates is a full body work out that builds Core, hip, glute, shoulder strength & stability. It builds the kind of muscular strenght & endurance we need for walking up stairs, on ice, and getting up off the floor! The heat and the interval structure make it a genuine conditioning workout building cardiovascular strength. Most people find they move better — gain more range through the spine and hips, & control in everything else they do, including their yoga practice. THP trains your body to become stronger and more confident in your normal day life!
