Harness the power of the Breath for a more balanced nervous system and musculoskeletal system with Kim Burns DPT OCS. The relationship of the breath and healthy nervous and movement systems goes back thousands of years to the yogis of India. In more recent history, Joseph Pilates recognized the importance of breathing to support heathy movement. Current research ties in Pilates’s Wisdom with Gray Cook’s teams’s research on the link between breathing patterns and kinesiology (the science behind movement), Jon Kabat Zinn’s use of breathing techniques to train the nervous systems responses around pain, NOI group’s ground breaking research on pain neuroscience and Alan Gordon’s work on the links between our subconscious interpretations of environmental threats, body sensations from emotions, anxiety and pain as well. This class is a practical application of all of these systems to build a more balanced nervous and movement system by harnessing the power of the breath.

An answer to an age old question - strength training first or cardio first? Of course your PT corrective exercises always come first 😉 but after that, strength training, first actually shows more benefit for weight loss due to depleting the sugar stored in the muscles first, that then requires the body to burn fat during cardio!

Fitness enthusiasts have debated the question for decades: is it better to do cardio before or after lifting weights?
