OUR MISSION is to educate people—from collegiate students to those well into their twilight years—about how the body works and to enable them to move with ease and strength.
Located on the beautiful 13,000-acre campus of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, Bodyworks Youniversity is a perfect setting for our restorative work. We want your experience to be a “tiny vacation” from your busy life, to learn how to destress and unwind your body and soul.
We offer private and duet sessions that use heat and stretching on Pilates equipment to release and align your body before taking you to core strengthening exercises. We also offer Pilates mat classes to strengthen and tone your body, as well as to educate you about what each exercise is designed to achieve.
Sleep and Weight Loss
There are lots of great reasons to make sure we get enough sleep, and weight loss is one of them. Not getting enough sleep makes appetite control more difficult. When we are sleep deprived, we have lower levels of leptin which reduces appetite AND we have higher levels of ghrelin, an appetite stimulating hormone. Sleep deficiency also increases activity in other parts of the brain that make us crave junk food and high calorie foods. On the other hand, deep sleep increases the production of the growth hormone which promotes the burning of fats. It is also important to align sleeping and eating with the body's circadian rhythm whenever possible. When not aligned, there is a disruption in the regulation of appetite and metabolism which often leads to weight gain. Getting enough sleep and having a regular sleep schedule should be prioritized along with a good diet and physical exercise. Good night and sweet dreams!
