Current Module
Seated Pilates – April 30th – June 18th
Led by peer instructor, Stacy Kirkpatrick, Seated Pilates will be catered to individuals living with MS and adapted to their unique abilities and limitations. Pilates exercises are practical and target the proximal muscles of the core. It is a low impact, easy to modify movement flow. It facilitates the correct muscle engagement with breath, increasing muscle strength, creating flexibility and improving balance for walking. You will be able to work directly on decreasing common MS symptoms in a fun and engaging way!
Upcoming Module
Functional Exercise – June 25th – August 13th
The Functional Exercise Module will focus on aerobic, strength, neuromotor, and flexibility work. All exercises are programmed to be done in a seated position with modifications for standing.
Our MOVE MS classes are catered to individuals living with MS and adapted to their unique abilities and limitations; however, it’s important for individuals with MS to consult their healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program. They can discuss their specific condition, any limitations, and get personalized recommendations on whether this class is suitable for them.
