Why I practice:

Nothing brings me more joy than movement and connecting to my own mind and body. Growing up as a dancer, I spent so much time focused on aesthetics and flexibility. However, my focus has shifted to stabilizing, strengthening, and mindfulness.

Why I teach:

Through Pilates, I have learned so much and sharing that information with clients is very special to me. I believe knowledge is power and Pilates gains you proprioception and confidence. Pilates is also very helpful in rehabilitating, which was very helpful to me when I experienced an injury through dance several years ago.

What to expect in my class:

Clients should expect to gain body awareness, to work on stability through the joints, and to be challenged in a warm fun environment!
