Pink Ribbon Program: Ongoing
This program is designed to offer breast cancer survivors an exercise routine to help maintain movement in the affected area (shoulder and arm), help begin daily activities, decrease joint stiffness, and improve overall well being. The Pink Ribbon Program™ works in conjunction to your doctor’s recommendations for an exercise program. You may use this program in conjunction or as a follow-up program to any prescribed physical therapy. The Pink Ribbon Program™ was developed by Doreen Puglisi after her personal triumph over breast cancer and enduring mastectomy. With control over the situation and a proactive involvement in her recovery, Doreen regained the sense of well being that had been lost from diagnosis through surgery and into recovery. ArtForm Studio is Pink Ribbon Program Certified™,offering guidance in Post Rehabilitation Breast Cancer Exercise Training.
Bump Pilates: Ongoing
Our Pilates for Pregnancy classes provide a full-body “work-in” that targets the core: strengthening abdominal and pelvic floor muscles—which are vital for pushing during delivery. Pilates also strengthens the lower back, legs and arms, increases spinal flexibility, lengthens the spine and waist, and opens the chest and shoulders. Focusing on these areas through controlled, supervised movements on our Allegro Reformer machines addresses the structural and postural imbalances that may occur during pregnancy without the likelihood of injury or over-stretching. Movements are modified for maximum safety during each trimester and special “C” shaped seats are used to avoid lying on the back. Additionally, modifications are made per trimester to ensure safety of mom and baby throughout the continuous body changes.

Foam Roller Workshop: Nov 7
This workshop is for all walks of life that are interested in releasing muscle tension through myofacial release using the foam roller. The foam roller is universally loved by all due to its ability to provide head to toe self-stretching and self-massage techniques. Rolling not only makes muscles more pliable, but helps break down scar tissue and soft tissue adhesions that have developed overtime. The foam roller also promotes balance and stability through exercises that teach the body to work in harmonious symmetry. This wonderful and portable device is convenient for home and travel. Adult $75 Student $50
Before and After Workshop: Nov 14
This workshop is for those involved in athletic activity or those interested in learning warm-up and cool-down techniques. Warming the body prior to activity is important to increase blood flow and movements in the muscles and joints. Warming up prevents injuries sustained during workout or performance, removes lactic acid from previous workouts, and enhances neuromuscular coordination. Cooling the body down is important to stretch and release muscle contractions built up during activity. Cooling down reduces muscle stiffness, hormone levels, and lactic acid. The workshop will follow an outline to best aid you in at-home or athletic training for optimal performance and injury prevention. Adult $75 Student $50
