I own my own pilates studio - Positively Pilates - in Fairfield, CT where I teach both private lessons on the Pilates apparatus and group mat classes. I first became interested in Pilates after giving birth to my daughter and instantly began reaping the benefits of it. Pilates changed the shape of my body, gave me strength I never thought I was capable of, and completely improved my posture, making me feel several inches taller! After a year of taking private lessons, I became certified to teach mat classes. Then a year later, I entered the Romana's Pilates certification program in New York. I spent a year training with Romana's Pilates (run by Joseph Pilates' protege Romana Kryzanowska), accruing over 650 hours of experience as an apprentice and passing 3 levels of rigorous written and practical exams. Once I completed my certification I opened my own studio and now share my passion for Pilates and all it's benefits with my clients, many of whom have become Pilates' addicts themselves!
