Pilates with Kristine

Kristine’s teaching style is grounded in classical Pilates, a system of more than 500 exercises developed by Mr. Joseph Pilates to bring the body back into balance. She also brings her knowledge of anatomy, functional movement, development movement and ideokinesis to each session. Through hands-on guidance Kristine creatively adapts to the diverse needs and learning styles of her clients to help each person “constantly strive to acquire strong, healthy bodies and develop our minds to the limit of our ability” (Joseph Pilates, Return to Life through Contrology). The goal is to find better posture, a reconnection of your limbs into your body, a strong supple spine, improved breath capacity, restored vitality, an improved mind and an elevated spirit. You will leave each session feeling better than when you came in.
