"Pilates - Standing/Stretch" Days : Monday Evening Instructor : Leslianne Holmes Next Session : The standing portion of the class will help address correct spinal alignment, in functional daily positions. It helps in osteoporosis prevention; promotes a healthy pelvic floor which in turn helps with incontinence and support of the internal organs. Standing Pilates generates good balance and keeps the hips open and flexible, which in turn helps support the lower back and promotes pain free movement. The stretch portion of the class will work on increasing flexibility throughout out the whole body, reducing tightness in the muscles and tendons, relieving tensions and stiffness and improving mobility. All this is done in a quiet, relaxed setting ending with a few minutes of relaxation and rest. Many clients experience an increased quality of sleep and significantly less pain in their joints.

You will find a phone number for "Tech Support" and you are at a complete loss with the questions being fired upon you other than you know you put the power plug into the wall.

To better understand what you're working with and when it comes to the dreaded day of BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) and the call has to be made, at least know a few of the components and their use within the "BOX" (no profanities at this time, please).
