 Philosophy
The Pilates method was not originally designed for large
classes that you find all too often today. Therefore, I
offer only individual training and instruction in very small
groups. In doing so, I can thoroughly cater to your needs. I
would like to accompany you in achieving your personal aims.
It is important to me to let you become aware of how Pilates
affects your body, so you can integrate Pilates into your
everyday life and your activities.Pilates is not a sport,
it is a lifestyle.
