What is SUPilate?

Brought to you by Claudia Breuer of Marin, SUPilates gives you the opportunity to have a great fun work out on the calm waterfront of Sausalito aboard high end stand up paddle boards. SUPilates is an excellent way to strengthening your core, increase flexibility, endurance and acts as a great injury prevention tool for all ages, athletes and experience levels. 

What is Pilates?

Pilates (pronounced puh-lah-teez and not pie-lates) is similar to yoga but strengthens your body’s core — the abdomen, oblique's, lower back, inner and outer thigh, glutes, and more. For this reason, Pilates develops much of what exercisers need — strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, coordination, balance, and good posture — with a much lower chance of injury than with other forms of exercise. The discipline emphasizes correct form and the burn. With so many exercise variations and progressions, you may have a hard time getting bored with Pilates. Pilates is the best full body work out and gives you quick results. The breathing will help you in every part of your life, relieving stress and giving you more endurance for daily exercise, finish a race and training.
