I started Participating on pilates for my own health. Pilates changed my life. I lost 75 pounds began eating, exercising more and living well. I decided I'd like to share my success with others and enrolled in the intense year long pilates training. I used stott equipment and started teaching immediately. I had to leave to pursue a career that offered health insurance for my family. I continued teaching some clients privately on the side. I also decided to pursue my yoga teacher certification as my other love is yoga. I finished that certification in June of 2011. I think the two compliment each other. I have been teaching hot yoga for almost a decade now and I love it! I also enjoy riding and competing my home-bred event horses!
