Pilates classes at Luther
Luther College is working in cooperation with Winneshiek Medical Center Rehab and Sports Medicine to provide Pilates Fitness classes for faculty and staff. Classes are held in the CFA dance studio. The sessions run Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
Led by trained instructor, Bridgette Mitchell, STOTT Pilates classes base exercise on five basic principles emphasizing breath, spinal alignment and mobility. Exercises can be modified to skill level and needs, to ensure safety of the musculoskeletal system and provide profound results. Fee is $24 for the six-week session. Register on the first day of class.
Those who complete four of the six classes in each session will receive a $25 Luther gift card.
Also, there are bonus classes offered in January. The bonus classes for faculty and staff are free and open enrollment. Simply show up. Equipment is provided. Bonus class dates are Wednesdays, Jan. 14 and 21.
