Pilates for Kids

Posted on: 05-21-2012 Posted in: Blog

How can I get my kid interested in Pilates? 

Have them come to m.a.c. Pilates for Kids! Whether your child is involved in competitive sports, gymnastics, dance or video games, the benefits of Pilates for kids and teens is proven to build core strength, flexibility, and mind body awareness, not to mention enhancing their confidence and presence in everyday life!  m.a.c. Pilates for Kids classes are fun and interactive, without compromising form or funtion.  Kids are instinctively physical and are able to educate their bodies to learn new and amazing patterns of movement, which adults often struggle with when beginning their Pilates practice.  Pilates is a great way to keep kids fit, while having fun!

Are there any Pilates exercises I can do with my kids(s)?

Yes! Rolling Like a Ball, Swan Dive, Cat Stretch – just to name a few… My favorites are always the exercises that the kids create themselves.  The Rolling Bridge of Mystery and The Whiny Child were two great ones created last fall during the m.a.c. Pilates for Kids course at Harmony.

Just for kicks, tell us what your favorite Pilates exercise is?

There will always be a special place in my heart for The Seal. And yes, I add sound effects!

 

Melissa McNamara has been teaching at Harmony since 2010, and is a certified Stott Pilates® Instructor Trainer, as well as the founder of m.a.c. Pilates for Kids.  You can read Melissa’s full bio by clicking here. Stay tuned for an upcoming m.a.c. Pilates for Kids workshop at Harmony, beginning this July!
