Private Pilates Instructor
When training a client in Pilates, Laura focuses on improving their:
- Self-awareness. By educating her clients about their body, she helps empower them to move more efficiently, strategically and wisely in any type of exercise they do.
- Stability and balance. By developing stability and balance—the foundation for all physical tasks—you decrease your risk for injury and increase your ability to achieve your desired physical and life goals.
- Whole person wellness. In Laura's words, "there is a beautiful connection between physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health." In Pilates, she refers to this as the balance of mind, body and spirit.
Laura loves watching her clients' eyes light up when they can self-correct body positioning because they feel the difference in their body without her saying anything.
