Pilates classes for Leiden University employees

On June 5, 12 and 19, the University Sports Centre organized three free Pilates sessions for all employees of Leiden University. A large number of employees took this opportunity to relax after a hard day's work. Our Pilates instructor Smaranda gave the classes with great pleasure, in which muscle strengthening exercises and stretches were alternated with more relaxing exercises. We hope that all participants enjoyed the classes. Ivana van Leeuwen, employee at Leiden Observatory, shares her experience with us.

'I already knew in advance that I would like this class because I already do Pilates at the USC every Tuesday. It was a cool class, a great combo of working out and chilling out (especially when we focused on our breathing). Since I've been working on my core, my back has been bothering me way less. It was also nice that a number of snacks and drinks were arranged afterwards.'
