She stresses listening to your own body, attention to proper alignment, and gentle movements which lengthen and strengthen core muscles. She is certified as a Pilates Mat teacher by the National Endurance and Sports Trainers Association. Her teaching is enriched by years of experience in dance, yoga and bodywork. She discovered Pilates as the capstone to a personal post-surgery rehabilitation, and loves sharing it with others as a way to reach their physical goals.
