Legacy Pilates, Yoga & More's staff nurtures the physique with energy-stimulating reiki session therapies administered by master practitioners. Reiki operates on the concept of chi, believed to be an energy or life force that flows throughout the physical body. The practice states that when obstructions occur due to negative thought, the energy field becomes disrupted, leaving a sense of fatigue, an inability to remember that car keys are already in one’s hand, and overall infirmity. Reiki masters seek to transform these negative wavelengths by placing their hands on or near the body and channeling positive energy to the afflicted areas, encouraging an air of tranquility within their clients.

Exercises from the daily floor-class schedule treat the physique to seven fitness regimens utilizing the fundamentals of yoga and Pilates training. Pilates/yoga fusion classes maintain a balanced core and spirit, while Piloxing melds the speed of boxing, the pliant motions of Pilates, and the power of sparring with scarecrows stuffed with crumpled-up screenplays. Students seeking to shimmy their way to fitness can partake in belly-dancing courses designed to tone muscles and extend flexibility through measured hip and abdominal gyrations.
