Welcome to Mat Magic, a mindful movement experience to gently strengthen, lengthen, and energize your body from the inside out.
We begin with a grounding, full body warm-up, and mobility sequence to awaken the breath and prepare the joints. From there we shift into gentle core activation, building deep strength, and awareness at your center.
The class flows into a well-rounded core and back series using accessible, low impact movements – many performed on the mat, including prone (belly-down) work to support spinal strength and posture.
We may incorporate simple tools to enhance the experience, such as light hand, weights, stretch, bands, or tennis ball – but no special equipment is required.
Plank-based movements are occasionally introduced to activate the full body and build functional core strength.
This class is modification – friendly, nurturing, and designed to leave you feeling aligned, strong, and refreshed – body, mind, and spirit.
Whether you’re new to this type of movement or looking to deepen in your practice, you’re warmly invited to join us for a little magic on the mat!
• Don’t have hand weights? You can use any light, comfortable household item like water bottles or small cans.
• No stretch band? A yoga belt works beautifully.
• No tennis ball? A similar firm ball, rounded object, or even your own fingers (if you can reach your upper back) will do the trick.

Alana Fickes
Alana grew up between Oahu and Chiang Mai Thailand, and has been dancing since childhood. She began more focused movement with hip hop, and Tahitian dance. Which morphed into ballroom, partner dancing, Bollywood, heels, and more hip hop. In the last few years she’s had a focus on Argentine tango, latin partner dances, and Bellydance. In her outside life she works primarily with women on connecting more deeply to themselves and their relationships to others. As well as exploring creative expression. Over the years Alana has developed a holistic philosophy around connection through movement, and loves to incorporate that in all that she teaches. As a Gemini Sun, Libra moon and Cancer rising … She carries a spiritual depth and playful energy. She’s sure to lift your spirits, and ground you in connection with yourself, your body, the earth, and community.
