Pilates is a unique method of physical & mental conditioning. Developed by Joseph H. Pilates over ninety years ago, he originally called his method CONTROLOGY—The complete coordination of body, mind & spirit. Pilates is one of the fastest growing exercise phenomenons. With more than nine decades of success, Pilates has stood the test of time. The Pilates Method is based on developing strength in the body’s core stabilizing muscles by combining the philosophies of both Eastern and Western bodywork.
I am classically trained and certified by Power Pilates. I bring 13 years of teaching experience to Sky. I am able to address my clients needs and goals with compassion and understanding. I am training clients at all levels of fitness and some who have physical limitations. I love teaching Pilates and look forward to meeting new clients in our beautiful studio.
As a former dancer I’ve always been paying attention to body awareness and movements. But I’ve always wanted to avoid injuries and stay healthy trough exercising – that’s how my Journey as a Pilates instructor had began… In 2003, I became a Certified Pilates Instructor through PhysicalMind Institute and Essential Movements Education. In 2010 I completed my certification to become a Certified Instructor through Merrithew™, specializing in STOTT PILATES (Matwork, Reformer, Cadillac, Chair, Barrels) and Total Barre™.
The emphasis on maintaining a healthy back and injury prevention is a core of my teaching philosophy that helps my clients achieve strength and flexibility in enjoyable and safe fashion.
