How did you find pilates? 

My family had a tradition of doing mat pilates in the living room together after dinner. We’d turn on a Mari Winsor DVD and the habit stuck! 

Why do you love Pilates?

I found that pilates helped to reduce my back pain! I also loved that I could feel my body getting stronger. Pilates requires a lot of focus, so it helps tune everything out. 

How did you become an instructor?

By the time I found myself in pilates group classes, I had already received my yoga teacher training certificate. I fell in love with group fitness classes and knew in my heart that teaching pilates was the natural next step. 

What makes your class/style special? 

When I am exercising, I just want to have fun so I try to bring that experience to my students. We will definitely work in class, though!!

How long have you been doing pilates & teaching? 

I was doing pilates even as a kid and happily started teaching in 2022. 

Would you consider your approach more fitness or technical?

I think it depends on the day but I would rather we slow down and get quality reps.
