Pilates

Fitness Philosophy 

“It is my passion to teach Pilates classes that are positive and engaging, where a client can be challenged and find what works best for their body. I encourage clients to achieve their personal best. I impart knowledge of body mechanics to help clients live a healthy lifestyle. I am certified to teach Barre and Pilates, and I am also trained in injury prevention and special populations. I am trained in classical Pilates and apprenticed under a 2nd generation teacher who practiced the traditional work of Joseph Pilates. In my spare time I enjoy partner dancing - a 20 year pastime that I still enjoy!”

Fitness Philosophy

“Over the years I have tried many types of exercise, but when I discovered Pilates -- after a knee injury from running -- I realized my true fitness passion. Every session can be fun and interesting because there are hundreds of different Pilates exercises and because it can be adapted for all fitness levels and all ages. Even though Pilates was originally developed in the early 1900's, it is continuously evolving. I love surprising my clients with new movements and exercises to try! I do a lot of preparation before each session to help all of my clients to reach their goals, to challenge themselves in a safe environment and to have fun while doing it. Most importantly, I want my clients to leave the studio feeling stronger and more flexible and energized than they did when they walked in.”
