Warm Up: Teacher will lead students through

the SC baseball dynamic warm up. This
consists of five lines doing calf stretches,

lunges. Each stretch will go for half the gym
then they will jog to the other end. At the end
they will do two sprints to get the blood
flowing to their legs.
Transition: Students will go get a mat from
the rack and find their own personal space in
the gym facing forward towards the teacher.

by explaining what yoga is and what pilates
is. Teacher will put a focus on the importance
of the connection between mind and body.
Teacher will then explain the difference
between the two. Yoga main focus is on
flexibility and broad muscle groups where
pilates main focus is on strength, muscle
toning, body control, flexibility, and overall
core strength. Teacher will explain how the
combination of the two can lead to a relaxing
yet effective workout.
Safety: Students will be aware of staying in
their own personal space. Students will also
focus on working hard and pushing
themselves but not doing anything they are
not comfortable with.
