Pilates for Hypermobile Bodies

About this event

Do you have EDS or HMS? Are you struggling to fit movement safely and comfortably into your life? Have you wanted to try Pilates but are too afraid? This class is thoughtfully designed for clients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), and generalized hypermobility -- with an emphasis on building strength, stability, body awareness, and confidence in movement. Using Pilates mat and apparatus, we’ll focus on the specific needs of hypermobile bodies—including joint stability, proprioception, controlled range of motion, and developing strength without overloading vulnerable joints. Taught by our expert teachers with years of specialty skills in dealing with this audience ... You’ll learn practical strategies for safely navigating movement in a group setting, while creative modifications, positions, and props allow us to tailor exercises to your needs. Whether you’re new to Pilates or an experienced mover looking for a more supportive approach, this class offers a knowledgeable, individualized environment where you can learn to work with your body, not against it! All bodies welcome - no diagnosis required!
