Karen

PILATES INSTRUCTOR

Her Pilates journey began in 2016, where she focused on the fundamental principles and foundational skills through the mat work. This deliberate practice not only increased her flexibility and core strength but also alleviated her persistent back pain. She has come to appreciate the precision and mind-body connection that Pilates demands, and she is dedicated to sharing its transformative benefits with her students.

In 2023, she completed the 450-hour comprehensive training program at Drexel Pilates where she learned the classical biomechanics of Pilates. The Drexel Pilates program is under the direction of Jennifer Morley who was trained by Romana Kryzanowska. She continues to learn and grow in her Pilates practice with a weekly private session with Gina Nostrant and continuing education classes and workshops at Drexel Pilates.
