Mindfulness Meditation

When I took my first Pilates class back in 2010, the teacher gave us such specific cues that I was able to bring awareness to and activate muscles I didn't even know existed. I loved how it felt to fully connect to my body while giving my restless mind something to focus on. Ever since, I have found Pilates to be truly transformative, not only for my physical body but also my mental and emotional wellbeing. Eager to share this practice, I completed mat and equipment Pilates teacher training in California. It wasn't until after years of teaching that I realized what I was really hoping to communicate to students was the power of mindfulness and connection in the present moment. Inspired to explore the roots of mindfulness teachings, I traveled through India and Southeast Asia where I completed teacher trainings in yoga and meditation and dove much deeper into my own practice and understanding. As a teacher, I hope to create a space where students can come into their bodies through movement and stillness, while cultivating gratitude, compassion, a conscious mind, and an open heart. My classes are a place to just be as you are, relax your judgements, and realize the joy in that. :)
