Joseph Pilates developed what was originally called Contrology in the 20th century. Later renamed to reflect its creator, Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise that strengthens muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. It is a whole-body integrated approach to movement that also focuses on the deep core muscles that are often overlooked in other forms of exercise. I became mat and apparatus certified through Bent Pilates, Inc. in NYC in 2010 where I received training in the Kane School of Core Integration method.

I am certified in Pre- and Post-natal Pilates mat, and I have trained with Mariska Breland of the Neuro Studio which specializes in Pilates for Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and Multiple Sclerosis.
