Pilates Mat/Reformer Training

 

Pilates is a system of movement that re-educates, re-aligns and balances the body. This Method focuses on your core muscles; abdominal, back, hamstrings, and all the stability muscles in the shoulder girdle and hips.

Pilates is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.

My journey with the Pilates Method started in 2001. I was 34 years old and had terrible back pain that was affecting my workouts and my life in general. I loved Yoga but it only gave me temporary relief.  Pilates was popular in Minneapolis at the time so I hired a trainer and gave it a try. I saw results within 6 weeks and was thrilled. I was so impressed that I went and got certified in Pilates Mat by the Physical Mind Institute in 2002.

In 2016 I enrolled to become STOTT PILATES® Certified in Reformer (www.merrithew.com) and I achieved my certification in 2017. This course really took my education and understanding of the anatomy and mechanics of the body to such a higher level.


Please allow me to introduce you to this fascinating arrangement of movement.
