CoreAlign®, Konnector®, MOTR®
Complement traditional Pilates with these unique mindful movement classes
At CONNECT we offer more than just Pilates. The principles of movement that Joseph Pilates inspired apply to a wide range of equipment. The term mindful movement has come to mean movement that strengthens and challenges our mind-body connections and helps us learn new ways to have fun, develop efficiency in our movement strategies, and improve our performance.
We love how the CoreAlign®, MOTR® and Konnector® system work to complement traditional Pilates movements and can’t wait for you to come in and give them a try!
Check out these Youtube videos to see CoreAlign®, MOTR® and Konnector® in action!
CoreAlign®
The CoreAlign® was developed by a physical therapist named Jonathan Hoffman. Its unique focus on functional training and gait along with upright posture help to challenge trunk support, balance, functional movements, and all the things we need to keep up upright and mobile. This tool is a must for anyone looking to enhance their performance and is an excellent complement to other components of your workout routine. Our owner, Carrie A. Lamb is a Balanced Body Educator for CoreAlign® and is on a personal mission to spread the magic of this apparatus far and wide. She has trained teachers across the nation for the past 10 years and continues to find new ways to challenge clients and teachers alike!
Konnector®
The Konnector® is the best thing to happen to Pilates in the past 20 years! Invented by Viktor Uygen it is an evolution of the original Pilates reformer design that we didn’t even realize was missing. Once you’ve tried it, you may have a hard time going back to the “old” way. This system allows for the body to behave like it does in real life with each limb reacting to the other and allowing for smooth and connected movements. You won’t believe it until you try it, but we are convinced it won’t be long until all Pilates studios are converting to this unique system.
MOTR®
This amazing, self-contained, full-body workout system is one of my favorite new toys! It was created by Pilates instructor Darya Bronston and is a great way to level up your training. The MOTR® contains resistance cords that attach to the roller for unique challenges to core stability, balance, and strength. We love the ways MOTR® challenges balance and agility as well as gives us a good resistance training option. New class starting soon….stay tuned!
