Mat Pilates
This class is taught by:
Tammy Daly
Hello! My name is Tammy Daly and I am originally from Long Island, NY where I taught yoga for 15 years at the same studio. I moved to The Poconos in 2019 and love the tranquility here. I can't imagine not having yoga in my life and was happy to join the community at Yoga House.
I started out as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor but soon found out that my passion is yoga and pilates. I have worked with clients with extreme physical limitations and injuries to athletes throughout my career.

My certifications are from AFAA and I participate in continuing education every year. I love finding new adaptations to familiar poses and letting the body find it's 'happy spot' within poses. I enjoy using hand mudras and poses to open the chakras and let the energy flow.
My favorite pose is pigeon and the motto I try to live by is 'tranquil abiding' and finding the balance.
I strive to help others to integrate total mind, body and soul wellness into their yoga practice and feel the best they can!
Thank you and hope to see you on the mat soon!
This class incorporates classic mat pilates with sets of 1-2 and repetitions of 8 per set. It targets the core, specifically the spine, abdomen, obliques, pelvis, hips, and the muscles that support these structures. The key elements of pilates are core muscle strength and spinal alignment. Modifications are given for beginners and/or individuals who are working with personal injuries or limitations. The exercises are interspersed with stretching as the motive of pilates is to strengthen and lengthen the muscles.
Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates to aid injured soldiers and it was designed so they could do all of the exercises in bed and get stronger and healthier.
You will notice a stronger core will help your posture throughout all of the day and beyond.
