 "Every moment of our lives can be the beginning of great things." Joseph Pilates Please visit my site www.pilatesinalbany.com or contact me at pilatesinalbany@gmail.com As a lifelong dancer and movement enthusiast, I have always found that movement heals. I was also fortunate enough to train in NYC at Marymount Manhattan College and with the renowned Martha Graham Dance Company. I was introduced to Pilates at a young age and always found it to be a great way to keep my body aligned and to help recover from a myriad of dance related injuries. I have studied and performed locally with NACRE Dance, Dance Eclectic, YDC, Berkshire Ballet and Maude Baum & Co as well as performed in local theater with NYSTI, Park Playhouse, Steamer 10 and others. When an extensive ankle injury set me back in college, I decided to take a hiatus from dance and pursue other interests. After spending several years managing health clubs and nearly 15 years in real estate property management, I began suffering from the effects of being confined to a desk all day. This included a bulging disk, a pinched nerve, and a stress level that had risen beyond a level I was willing to sustain. My family had recently increased in size with the blessing of the birth of my daughter, but I found it increasingly difficult to care for her without constant and excessive pain. It was then that I turned my full attention to Pilate. I could not care for my family, if I could not care for myself first.. I left the corporate world and devoted myself to completing my Pilates certifications and to my wonderful daughter. Through the Beacon Pilates Teacher Training program, I have completed Beginner/Intermediate Mat, Comprehensive Apparatus and Advanced Series certifications. I am now pleased to share my knowledge and offer these training services to you. I truly believe, and have direct experience, that when the weight of the world (work, illness, injury, stress...) brings you down, Pilates will help bring you back to life. I can't wait to help you look and feel your best! |
