Arlington, VA, February 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Men and women across the nation have reaped the benefits of yoga and pilates for decades. Participants enjoy the integration of stability, strength, and flexibility, in addition to stress management and an improved sense of well-being.

This approach to quality health through movement is consistently the desire of movement specialists, namely physical therapists. Mind The Mat: Pilates & Yoga is a studio owned by two doctors of physical therapy and a yoga instructor. Their classes are focused on providing class goers with a healthy dose of fitness with the bonus of information regarding injury prevention and health promotion. By incorporating functional movements into yoga and pilates classes, the body learns how to move in more biomechanically sound movement patterns and therefore becomes stronger and more stable in class and in daily life.

The best way to optimize human body function is to have a diversified routine. Utilizing cardiovascular routines for heart health, agility moves for speed, balance, and coordination, resistance training for muscle power development, and mixing these few examples up, increases endurance and conditioning. Mind The Mat integrates these and others into fusion classes such as pilates boot camp, pilates barre, core yoga flow, and yoga for the stiff and terrified. The classes are appropriate for everyone, and include modifications to crank up the intensity and others to create a gentler effect. Regardless of your age, and current level of function; Mind The Mat: Pilates & Yoga has a class for you.
