Pilates

I've begun to follow my dreams and am taking courses to become a certified Pilates Instructor! Pilates changed my life two years ago when I began regular training. I love the way it changed my body and my outlook on fitness, as well as complimented my running. I have always wanted to become a fitnes instructor but it took finding an exercise I fell so in love with to motivate me to train. It will be a long road of intense classes, practice teaching, observation hours and studying for the certification test, but it will be worth it! I'd also like to do an apprenticeship teaching before I take the certification test. I've been super busy taking the Intensive Mat Instructor Course, and it's a little overwhelming, but I have lots of time in the future to study and practice! Eventually I will be offering reduced rate Pilates training in my home while I study to take the exam, so please let me know if you'd be interested in practicing Pilates with me!

Time consuming but totally worth it! I have a friend that teaches yoga and pilates and I am obsessed with her classes. I got my spin certification and I teach that once a week but I could LOVE to get my pilates certification as well. It is such an awesome workout!
