Meet Alexis, Your Instructor
Past

Photography took a toll on her body, standing for long hours, carrying heavy gear, and then editing at a computer. Over time, her body has created imbalances due to her work.

Alexis is a comprehensively trained Pilates Instructor. Comprehensive refers to completing a 500-hour program, which includes learning all pilates apparatus: reformer, mat, chair, springboard, ladder barrel, RTC, and spine corrector. This program can take up to 2 years to complete. It also focuses on special populations and how to adapt Pilates to each person's body if they have limitations of movement.
