Healthy Body Practice
a practice for caring for and integrating the body based on principles and techniques that include breathing exercises, mobility, perception, body awareness, motor coordination, alignment, flexibility and strengthening. The work aims to generate a feeling of well-being by improving the distribution of the skeletal, muscular and myofascial structure, building a balanced tone. To achieve this, the Pilates technique, yoga, dance principles, somatic approaches and the study of fasciae are used as a basis.
The class lasts one hour and can be taken online or in person at Condô Cultural.
Isis MarksIsis, a dance artist and creator of the project, worked as a Pilates instructor in a studio for six years and, since 2020, has been teaching as a freelance educator, incorporating a hybrid approach to her practices, which integrates other influences that make up her studies and professional path, such as dance, yoga, and looking at the body from different perspectives related to the health of the body and movement. Isis has a bachelor's degree in Dance from Anhembi Morumbi University since 2012 and a degree in Pilates from the CGPA Pilates School since 2013. Due to her maternity leave, in 2023 the Corpo São project began to count on the collaboration of artists and educators Paula D'Ajello and Naíra Gascon and the meeting of the three was so fertile that the project expanded. Thus, in 2024 it became possible to offer different class schedules, giving the project something that is fundamental to what it sets out to do: routine and constancy.

About the dynamics of each class
RESTORATIVE PRACTICE
A class to connect with your own body and restore energy through movement, based on different breathing techniques, joint mobility, stretching and body awareness.
INTERMEDIATE PRACTICE
A class for recognizing the foundations that permeate the work and the constant development of its improvement through repetition, constancy and contact with new challenges.
INTENSE PRACTICE
A very dynamic class, ideal for those who have accumulated some experience of body and movement and are looking to improve their technique through constancy, repetition and new challenges.
MULTILEVEL PRACTICE
Face-to-face classes are open to everyone who is interested in getting to know the work, as well as delving deeper into it, so that the content and challenges progress according to the needs of each individual and the group. Unlike online classes, face-to-face classes allow for musical stimulation, experimentation with the movement of the body in space, and also the precision of corrections through touch.

The trial class makes it possible for us to exchange and recognize some of the principles that guide the practice, which will help you to follow the dynamics and decide whether to stay in the class. You can choose to take an individual or group trial class, either online or in person.
The trial group lesson costs 60 reais and the individual lesson 100 reais, but if you are interested in a monthly or quarterly plan, this amount will be deducted from the first monthly fee.
