"It’s been said I have an eye for detail! That combined with the real joy I find getting lost in movement means I had no choice but to fall in love with teaching Pilates. I hold a deep respect for the method and I live for the moments when others realize the magnitude of their strength and ability. Pilates has a way of spilling out into other areas of your life. Being connected to your body (and comfortable in your body) translates to a magic like no other. I want you to have fun while your workout and love Pilates as much as I do."
