BARRE CLASS

Lotte Berk Method Inspired and Core Fusion. One of the most effective ways to change your body lifting your derrière, toning your thighs, abs and arms. The small isometric movements at the bar, bench or a chair will tone your body with great stretching sections in between and final ab work. It’s fun, effective and anyone can do it! The Lotte Berk Inspired exercises are blended with therapeutic elastic bands that can change your body in a few weeks!

BARRE classes are available on Zoom live and socially distanced in the park. Private In Home classes are available with mask, gloves and distance.

PRE-SPORTS CONDITIONING – SOCIALLY DISTANCED ACCEPTABLE

I have created a series of sports specific exercises for athletes and non-athletes, that is socially distanced appropriate outdoors. The sports include skiing, basketball, golf and competitive equestrian routines to help athletes prepare for their sport and protect them from injury. I work with clients before participating, competing or on vacation by developing a tailor-made program that addresses vulnerable areas and focuses on strengthening “weak links.”

Clients are also provided with personalized in-home exercises to reinforce their progress as they stay active. This program will greatly improve performance and stamina during your sport. Available on Zoom live and socially distanced classes outdoors, when appropriate, in home classes will resume.

BACK CARE INTENSIVE

Sharon has developed exercises that combine various release techniques and create a healthy, flexible, and strong back. The Back Care Intensive program combines Active Release Muscle Stimulation,Trigger Point Therapy, Ball Rolling Release, Physical Therapy exercises, intensive PNF stretches, foam rollers and Yoga. At the end of each segment, intense ball rolling is used for the release of tight muscles .The program is carried out in slow stages in order to allow clients to safely graduate to each new exercise. Diverse exercises are combined to release and strengthen muscles, and to create a permanently pain-free back! Back Care intensive can be taught on zoom live or in socially distanced class.

NEUROMUSCULAR RELEASE / PNF PROGRAM:

This program section incorporates Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) by taking your stretching abilities to the next level. An isometric contraction (press/release) is used prior to the main stretch to achieve greater gains than just stretching alone. Dramatic gains in flexibility are possible in a short period of time with this technique due to the creative use of a few neurological mechanisms to optimize a muscles ability to lengthen. A client is capable of reaching new levels of flexibility with this press/release technique! Expert coaching and exacting corrections are possible on Zoom live to help you gain in flexibility as well as socially distanced classes.

BALANCE

Conditioning, yoga, therapy and dance balance techniques are blended into this section to increase greater Right and Left awareness, improving the body’s inner stabilization. This section realigns posture, improves joint mobility and reconnects the body’s grounding system. Coaching on Zoom live or distanced classes are available to help increase better balance for all exercise performance.

BALL RELEASE PROGRAM

While rolling and lying on foam balls in a variety of positions, you encourage the spine to stretch and develop flexibility. Foam balls come in a variety of sizes and densities and can be strategically placed on the exact muscle or trigger point where you want release. The muscles along your spine are delicately massaged, creating balanced and healthy connective tissue. Ball rolling is a self treatment technique designed to rehydrate connective tissue and re-balance the nervous system. Rolling prevents pain and tightness in the muscles while encouraging greater flexibility. Expert guidance is also available on Zoom live to start your ball release program.

YOGA/PILATES FUSION

A fusion of yoga and pilates, or “yogalates”, is used as a warm-up to promote spinal mobility, elongate the muscles, encourage flexibility and start your session. This warm-up is tailored to each person’s ability and level. This warm-up is tailored  to each persons ability and is available on Zoom live classes and socially distanced classes.
