| Wellness Pilates
Pilates is a method of body conditioning using the "Powerhouse" or core muscles to initiate all movement. Pilates teaches upward and outward movement from a tight, strong center. The powerhouse muscle group consists of all abdominal muscles including the transverse abdominus, hips, inner and outer thighs, and lower back. In addition to the powerhouse muscle group, the Pilates method uses your mind, lungs, spine and neuromuscular system. Joseph Pilates originally called his method "The Art of Contrology" because it focuses on using the mind to execute controlled body movements. There is no need for many repetitions or the use of heavy weights because Pilates increases strength and flexibility simultaneously while creating long, lean and well toned muscles. The result is an attractive and balanced physique. The Benefits of Pilates
Pilates has been effective in realigning and balancing the body, enhancing concentration, improving posture, relieving incontinence, alleviating allergy and asthma symptoms, correcting spinal abnormalities, enhancing neuromuscular facilitation, coordination and improving performance in sports and other physical activities. It is recommended for golfers and those who pursue other sports that stress the spine. The Difference between Mat, Tower, Reformer, Mat/Reformer Combination Classes and Private Sessions
Mat Class is the floor work portion of Pilates. You need only your body and mat (provided by the studio). No apparatus is used. All clients new to the method are required to attend three introductory private sessions prior to participating in Mat classes.

Friday 8:30 - 9:30 AM Private Sessions have the client using a combination of the reformer and tower apparatuses as well as the mat. The goals will be unique for each client as no two bodies are the same. Private sessions are the most rehabilitative modality in Pilates as the focus is on individual needs. No experience is necessary and all ages and body conditions are welcome.
Remember..."In 10 sessions you'll feel better. In 20 sessions you'll look better. In 30 sessions, you'll have a new body". Joseph Pilates |

| | |  | Wellness Physical Therapy
Do you have daily or intermittent aches and pains? Is your pain keeping you from doing the things that you want to do? Our programs get to the cause of your pain. Most of our aches and pains are related to subconscious imbalance and movement that we are not aware of. Much like driving a car with unbalanced wheels, there is uneven excessive wear and tear that is at the root cause of our pain. Conditions like tendonitis, bursitis, or pain involving the knee, neck, lower back and head are symptons of underlying cumulative movement imbalances. As we get older, we become more susceptible to this wear and tear, causing us to reach for medication to ease our symptoms, but not fixing the problem. Our cutting edge protocols are like no other, and can identify the underlying cause of your pain and get you on the road to a pain free life. Medical insurance reimbursable. Carol N. Cote, PT CCTT, Director of North Jersey Physical Therapy Associates, Inc. is one of only 4 therapists in New Jersey and one of 12 within the United States to be board certified as a Certified Tempromandibular Therapist. She is a specialist in musculo-skeletal pain. |

|  | Wellness Yoga Yoga is believed to have been developed more than 5,000 years ago in India. As the physical, mental and emotional demands of today's world continue to rise, it has become even more relevant. The word yoga means "union" and refers to bringing together the body, mind and spirit. The physical practice of yoga differs from some other forms of exercise because the poses, or "asana" additionally generate internal awareness and balance. The reason it's referred to as a "practice" is because it builds upon itself. As you continue, the benefits increase. It involves the synchronization of breath, which begins internally, and physical movement, which orignates externally, resulting in maximum benefits. Our yoga classes are of a gentle, "vinyasa" or flow style. They are appropriate for all levels of practive, including beginner. No prior experience or knowledge is necessary. Everyone moves to his or her own level of comfort within the poses offered. Our smaller class size, different from the typical health club or yoga studio, provides a more individualized focus in a tranquil setting. Roseann Loia is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance, a national registry of teachers and schools complying with educational standards set by the organization. Following more than 20 years in the corporate world and always pursuing education and knowledge leading towards enhancement of overall well-being, her journey eventually led her to The Starseed Center For Yoga and Wellness in Montclair New Jersey. Upon receiving her teaching certification, she knew her life's purpose going forward was to share that knowledge with the hope that it might make a difference in the lives of others as well.
