Why I practice:
Pilates came into my life at a time when I was in search of new ways to find a deep mind-body connection as a professional dancer. Pilates remains a staple in my movement rituals, grounding me in my physical body and my overall awareness.
Why I teach:
I teach because I’m passionate about the lifelong impact that strength andflexibility can have on your daily experience and enjoyment. Whether I am sharing that with people new to movement or someone with more experience, I believe that finding ways to move that you love can greatly improve your quality of life.
What to expect in my class:
You can expect to find your alignment and bodily awareness through a functional approach, with an emphasis on exploring flow. I always encourage ways to challenge and push yourself forward, while focusing on a safe and centered practice. It's all about discovering how Pilates can best serve your body and life.
