Ricki Bennett
Instructor
Ricki is thrilled to be teaching Pilates after many years as a devoted student. She was introduced to Pilates "later in life" and has first-hand experience of how a consistent Pilates practice can dramatically transform the quality of everyday life. Don’t hesitate to ask her why, she would love to tell you more!
She began her teacher training with Christy Crowley at Re.action Pilates in Oakland and continued her education to complete the Balanced Body Pilates comprehensive certification program with Sarah Artha Negara at College of San Mateo.
Ricki’s teaching style is warm and welcoming, and she loves to share the “whys” of the work. She likes to teach a class that will challenge you but believes that movement should feel good regardless of your age or fitness level.
Teaching Pilates is Ricki’s “Act II”. Following a career in higher education, she is now focusing on doing what she loves. Aside from Pilates, that includes smelling the roses, reading, traveling, beachcombing, and taking care of orphaned seal pups as a volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center.
