Laura
Instructor
Four years ago, Laura began taking Pilates apparatus classes every week in the hopes of resolving her chronic lower back pain. Two months later, she was shocked to see how quickly her body was responding. Laura was thrilled and relieved by the physical improvements, and at how fun her time was in class. She felt like she was accessing a sacred knowledge that gave her greater power over her body as a newfound passion was born through the profound experiences practicing the Pilates Method.
Laura’s journey to certification began with Juliet Harvey at Beacon Pilates where she received her 500 hour Pilates Instructor Certification. She apprenticed with Beth Graziano, a Romana Kryzanowska trained teacher, for almost two years. Her time working with these master teachers has deepened her understanding of the benefit of Pilates to use foundational movements to stretch and strengthen the spine and its supporting muscles to relieve back pain. Laura learned that the attention to form is more important than getting through the exercise itself. Her belief in adhering to the “6 Principles of Pilates”, especially “Precision”, assists clients to alleviate back pain and feel an overall sense of health and vitality. As soon as she started teaching, Laura felt a deep sense of satisfaction, helping others harness the same power and mastery in their bodies. While finding a new profession was unexpected, she found teaching PIlates to be incredibly rewarding and is grateful that this brilliant method exists to help others heal themselves on their Pilates journeys.
In addition to being a Pilates Instructor, Laura is also a certified Pilates Equipment Technician.
