Pilates Trainer &
Gyrotonic Certified Trainer
The pilates method focuses on connection to the inner core, enabling length and flexibility of the spine, creating greater efficiency of movement overall. When teaching within the pilates repertoire, I help people gain greater control of movement while encouraging longer, leaner and more flexible musculature. Guiding clients through the Gyrotonic method, I assist in improving ease and mobility of joints, stretching muscles and getting to the deeper layers of the body, creating more space than you thought you had.
