About Nadia
What do you feel is the most unique quality of Pilates as a mindful movement?
I love how precision is the focus of Pilates. It speaks to my nerd side that needs to know why I'm doing any given movement.
What tickles you most about teaching Pilates?
To safely guide someone to a place of improved strength, less pain, and improved quality of life truly shows that movement heals!
