What is Body
IQ?
Body IQ is an innovative approach to mind-body
exercise training that builds a smarter and stronger body. Body IQ
draws on the use of intuitive awareness to visualize how movement and breath
can come together to create greater strength, stability and a stronger
mind connection to your body. By connecting movement and thought through
breath awareness, new possibilities are discovered for creating vitality
and inner strength. Learn to develop strength, flexibility, tone, and balance
all while engaging your mind-body connection. Body IQ is about using the
body to move the mind. "Movement is thought in motion. Body
IQ is about how well we put those thoughts into motion, physically, emotionally
and psychologically." J. Galati
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a Yoga based exercise form created by
Joseph H. Pilates many years ago. This mind-body exercise technique teaches
