Mat: Pilates Level 5 (Mat: Pilates Level 5)

About the class: Refine Level 5 flow. Wow. It's movement at a steady pace to practice staying centered, calm, precise and moving with dynamic core integration. AND - if it is right for you - it is FUN! About the teacher: Movement practice has been a powerful healing and creative force for me and I feel deep gratitude for the opportunity to co-create movement with the wisdom of others - both clients and colleagues alike. My personal journey includes travels through a landscape of disabling pain from two car accidents in 1992 and the practices of yoga, Feldenkrais, rock climbing and Pilates to restore pain free movement. In Pilates, I found a practice with a philosophy and methodology to re-pattern neuromuscular habits and re-create how I used my body through awareness and dynamic core integration. I found a re-newed joy in both everyday movement as well as my sports interests. My studies of the Pilates Method continued with 1,000+ hours of apprenticeship and in 2002, a Certificate of Program Completion at the internationally recognized Pilates Center - whose founders studied with Romana Kryzanowska, a student of Mr. Pilates. I have been teaching full time (15-30hr/week) for the past 8
