I teach the classical Pilates system and have since 2001. I was so inspired by pilates exercises. It gave me an awareness about how my body works, and how to grow into my fullest physical potential. I love sharing this with my clients so that they can learn how to live life to it's fullest.
I have been a fitness instructor since 1991. I was initially certified to teach aerobics by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. I became owner of Studio One, which was an aerobics studio. I grew the business into a corporate fitness business which served the corporate community by providing fitness instruction on site to their employees. I had this company for 10 years. In 1998, I was hired as the Director of Fitness for the World of Tennis to manage the Aerobic and Personal Training Departments. With my 2001 Pilates Certification, it became my full time career.
I initially trained with and was certified by the Pilates Center of Austin with Wendy LeBland Arbuckle. I achieved an additional certification in 2006 with Power Pilates. Power Pilates is based in New York City where my certification was awarded. I have been trained to teach all levels of Pilates, on all the standard pilates equipment, and in the classical Pilates System. I am also a member of Pilates Method Alliance which is an international, not for profit organization that has focused on preserving the legacy of Joseph H. and Clara Pilates.
Pilates is the most gentle way to encourage your body back into activity by teaching the body's joints how to move and glide through movement more openly.
