FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).

I just wanted to thank you for last nights class. I hope that everyone feels as lucky as I do to have found you. Your classes continue to be such a great sense of calm. What I love is that you really are an incredible person and it is always evident how much you care about all of us. I always leave feeling physically better, but as well with knowledge I did not have before I arrived. That is a gift.
Thank you.
Sharon

Descriptions

Pilates
As a pilates instructor my goal is to make pilates accessible to everyone by focusing on individual needs. I offer classes that promote functional movement and stability, postural facilitation and post-rehabilitative exercise. My classes are challenging and rejuvenating and offer an overall exercise experience that is stimulating for both the body and the mind. An emphasis on abdominal and back muscles leads to postural realignment, core stability and freer movement. You will feel your body start to change shape, muscles lengthen and posture improve. Pilates targets abdominal and back muscles for strength, power and flexibility. As the class progresses you will see and feel your “core” not only as your midriff, but as part of the integrated system of your entire body.

Yoga
As a yoga instructor I offer a unique approach to hatha yoga inspired by the teachings Vanda Scaravelli and developed in Toronto by Esther Myers that is both accessible and challenging. My teaching highlights the profound connection between breath, gravity, and spinal mobility. The core premise of my teaching is that because we are always breathing, and gravity is always acting on the body, we can harness and utilize these powerful tools in order to enliven yoga postures. In this way I teach yoga in a safe manner that is constantly unraveling tension and ultimately freeing the body into a state of ease. My approach to teaching promotes relaxation in the muscles, leading to a spacious mobility in the joints of the body; ultimately leading to enhanced energy and vitality for practitioners of any age.
