Local Spotlight : Core Intentions

Have you ever wanted to learn pilates, yoga, or aerial yoga? If so, then Core Intentions is the place for you. The studio features state of the art pilates equipment and boasts small class sizes. They have something for everyone: from beginner to advanced yogis. Children are even welcome and kid-focused classes are available!

Unlike other yoga studios, Core Intentions offers aerial yoga classes. A relatively modern style of yoga, it utilizes soft material that is suspended to form a low-hanging silky hammock that supports your body above the ground. Aerial yoga is an excellent way to improve your body’s alignment and reduce chronic tension. All of the levels of aerial yoga classes at Core Intentions focus on increasing the strength in the core and upper body while combining a sense of deep relaxation.

The staff at Core Intentions encourages everyone who might be interested in pilates to take a private class first before leaping into a group setting. The private class lets the instructor evaluate what level of pilates you require. You will also become familiar with all of the equipment at the studio. Unlike other studios that require three to five private pilates sessions, Core Intentions does not require more than one private session but they do encourage it.
