Gudbjorg Arnalds

Pilates has been a passion Gudbjorg's ever since she discovered the excercise form as a young professional dance student. The positive effect pilates had on her dancing and then chronic injuries she was experiencing at the time have kept her practicing faithfully ever since.

Gudbjorg holds a BFA in Contemporary Dance from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and she has been weaving pilates into her dancetraining right from the beginning. Gudbjorg completed her pilates certification from STOTT PILATES in 2006. Through her own training as well as her work with her cleints she has found pilates to be a powerful system that increases strength, flexiblity, and stability. Pilates also teaches proper movement mechanics and brings an increased awereness of ones body that has bettered her clients' quality of life through better prosture (that allows us to experince every day life pain free) as well as decreased chances of injuires.

Gudbjorg is currently a masters student in biomedical engineering at Polytechnic Institute of NYU and along her studies she teaches Pilates and Barre Burn at Equinox in Brooklyn Heights.
