The ab&flow training program was created by Marie who took her 14 years of teaching experience and background in fitness to emphasize the functionality of Pilates. For too long we have heard Pilates is only for dancers or rehabilitation—when in reality—Pilates is for everyone. It is a wonderful well-rounded form of exercise that will help people do what they really love, and do it better…whether a runner, golfer, swimmer, dancer, busy mom/dad running after your kids, or someone who is looking to support a healthy lifestyle. With this in, this training program takes a functional approach in its teaching. We still maintain the core principles of Pilates and movement but we have an emphasis on how to adapt it to our clients and make it more accessible, learning how to relate it to everyday life.
About:
Our training program is a 500-hour course, divided into 6 modules (history/anatomy, mat, reformer, cadillac, Chair, Barrel/Spine Corrector). Throughout each module, students will learn how to incorporate props, such as, magic circle, balls, weights, etc. as well as working with special populations and class programming. Our training program is taught through lecture, practice, teaching and observation. This program also takes students through anatomy and movements such as planes of motion, concentric and eccentric as it pertains to the body and to Pilates specifically. To be eligible for the course, students must be 18 years or older and have a high school diploma. Upon completion of the course, students should feel equipped with enough knowledge to teach a pilates class in a group or one-on-one setting.

New Year, New Skills!
We have an exciting partnership for this month’s workshop! Despite the Dark and BKSTRENGTH.
Despite the Dark’s goal is to start a conversation about safety at night, specifically when you are running. They believe there is a safety in numbers, which is why they are creating safe places for people to run with their Despite the Dark monthly runs.
Unfortunately, nobody cannot prevent every dangerous situation, so they want to prepare everyone. Thus, we have teamed to provide a free self-defense class with trainer Brian Kent of BKSTRENGTH.
Join us for a fun filled morning of Pie Talk + Coffee! We know the holidays are right around the corner so we want to share with you some our favorite healthy treats that actually taste good (we swear) and put you through a 30 minute workout that you can do from ANYWHERE!
Ab&flow wants to be a part of your holidays from wherever you are so you can stay on track with your fitness goals.
We know you guys are #TightAF and have had a lot of clients asking us what stretches you can do to help alleviate some of that tightness. While we know our workouts help to lengthen you, we also understand that you cannot live at ab&flow (as much as you may want to), so we are inviting you to join us for our #TightAF workshop!
