Bellydance Core Conditioning: We specifically designed this course for the female body and the challenges we face in order to stay fit. We use slower movements in order to condition the core of the body (abs, glutes, obliques, arms) while teaching proper posture and muscle isolations. Pilates and Yoga are also used in this class.
Hatha Yoga: Delphi's Hatha Yoga classes focus on asanas (poses) to increase flexibility as well as Pilates exercises to increase strength. Great for beginners!
Yoga Stretch: Feeling stressed, stiff, and hurried? Yoga stretch is the perfect way to balance out your hectic life. Poses are held for longer periods of time to increase the strength and flexibility of the deep, connective tissue. Because the class is slower, it forces the student to slow down, to reflect internally, and to relax into the pose. Benefits include endurance, energy, a state of well being (just to name a few). Great for beginners
Mat Pilates: The classic. Breathing, core strength, and cool music. This series of matwork will re-shape and re-energize your body, especially those abs, legs, and arms.
