      As a certified Pilates instructor I want to provide students of all levels achievable goals whatever they might be. Either goals of weight loss,  get stronger, feel better or be better prepared to dance or practice sports.  In all this, I like my students to feel their individual learning process is respected. The Pilates mat workout help students to gain body awareness, proper breathing and strength. The instructions to each exercise are clear and complete given in a friendly and warm environment.
