My History with Pilates
I have taken Pilates classes since I was a teenager, and fell in love with this form of exercise from the beginning! My appreciation of Pilates grew even further in recent years when I discovered an approach which emphasizes the integrity of each movement. I decided to earn my certification in March 2010 in order to bring this wonderful and transformative form of exercise to others. I began with Personal Training in Toronto, and then moved to Barrie where I am now offering personal training as well as group classes in my home-based studio that are simultaneously streamed online for women across Canada.
All of my experiences and personal results with Pilates led to an awareness of how challenging, effective and intelligent this workout can be for the entire body. My focus on achieving the correct form for executing exercises comes from my own experience of learning about how this makes all the difference! I also appreciate the wide variety of exercises and small apparatus that can be used to keep classes exciting and appealing from week to week. Most of all, I love the revitalizing sense of strength that I feel at the end of each class and the self-confidence that this facilitates.
