Juliette Goulet

I am currently a graduate student, having already earned my bachelor's degree and master's degree in ecology and evolution. I expected to complete my PhD by the end of this year. I discovered almost ten years ago how important exercise and physical fitness is not only to the body but to the mind as well. Being active has made me a better student and teacher. It helps me to think clearly and resolve any difficult problems or situations that arise. As such, I am an avid runner and biker and I love to hike and take yoga classes. I received my pilates mat certification 5 years ago and have been teaching pilates classes ever since. I received my pilates mat certification from Jenna Shea, owner and operator of The Willow Pilates and Yoga Studio in Staten Island, NY. I taught classes there for four years. I currently teach at the YMCA (South Shore) in Staten Island. I teach two pilates classes a week (all levels) as well as a pink ribbon pilates class which is specifically geared towards women who have had breast cancer. I also teach a total body stretch class there once a week as well.
