Pilates, yoga and breathwork, explained.

Reformer Pilates is Pilates on a sliding carriage with springs that add resistance or support. It builds core strength, posture and control, and suits beginners because the springs can make moves easier as well as harder.

Wall Pilates uses a wall for support and resistance during Pilates moves. It’s a good way to learn alignment and build strength without equipment.

Yoga nidra is a guided practice done lying down, where an instructor leads your attention through the body and breath. Many people use it to rest deeply and wind down before sleep.

Breathwork is the practice of breathing in specific patterns to steady the body and mind. At SAMA, every class includes it, and some classes focus on it entirely.

The Calm Mind Practice™ is the few minutes of breath and stillness that end every SAMA class. It helps your body shift from effort to rest before you leave.
