MY TRUE PASSION IS TEACHING PILATES

It is a true passion to share this with others. I have never thought of myself as super knowledgeable on many subjects but for as many years as I have practiced and studied and learned, I truly surprise myself at things I just understand about the body now. I have been blessed to work with professional athletes, pregnant moms, aging individuals looking to gain strength, people recovering from major surgeries, people with MS, missing limbs, sever osteoporosis, breast cancer survivors, stroke victims, and much more. All the years I was so hard on my own body paid its toll on me so Pilates gives me options as I age. I tell others it can be as gentle of a workout as you need it to be or as aggressive. It is everything from gentle movements to a complete cardio challenge. I love it when people come try it out not expecting to sweat and they are completely surprised by the gentle yet effective workout they just received.

Pilates with lengthen and strengthen your body. You feel literally taller after a workout. It’s main focus is on the core but your extremities (with equipment and load), core and controlled movement will gain benefits from Pilates as well. The core musculature is loosely defined as the spine, abdomen, pelvis, hips, and muscles that support these structures. Some of the main core muscles are the erector spinae, the internal and external obliques, the transverse abdominis, and the rectus abdominis.
