Empower Yourself - Reclaim your life with Pilates & Movement
MELT is a revolutionary self-care system designed to help you improve performance, and eliminate the mental and physical stress that accumulates from daily living, before it causes persistent pain and dysfunctions.
In-Person Pilates classes utilize large Pilates equipment, including Reformer, Tower and Chair for a full body workout. Each class is limited to 3 participants so individualized attention and necessary modifications can be given. Online Mat Pilates offers a great total body, at-home workout.
This is a great class that incorporates small hand weights (or household items with some weight to them) 2-8 lb weights recommended. Instructor, Kristin Smith, keeps a watchful eye on all participants to be sure safe and effective form is used throughout.
I have almost 20 years’ experience teaching Pilates and contemporary movement. Knowledgeable, sensitive and mindful, I give each client the personal attention they desire so they break past their limitations and reach their goals. To ensure clients are comfortable and achieve results as fast as possible, I also regularly add to my toolbox of proven, science- based movement techniques through continuing education.
I earned my foundational movement certification from STOTT Pilates in Toronto, a rigorous 7-month, full time professional training program, which included a 100-hour apprenticeship to hone my expertise. I have received certifications from Sue Hitzmann, creator of the MELT Method, and PJ O’Clair, a leader in Fascial Fitness and Fascial Movement, as well as trained in Anatomy Trains for Movement Professionals and various advanced Pilates courses.
Most of my clients suffer from limited mobility, stiff and achy joints, and an all-over feeling of weakness. Working with me in a safe, fun, supportive space, they rebuild strength and flexibility from the inside out and with this newfound strength comes healing. My greatest joy is witnessing my clients’ transformation as they create a more balanced, energetic and confident version of themselves.
