YOGA & PILATES TO BECOME YOUR MOST RADIANT SELF!

ARE YOU SOMEONE WHO:

is dealing with chronic pain and needs help in order to live pain free?
dreads gym workouts or feels lost in group classes?
craves guidance, motivation and accountability to achieve your goals?
yearns to find ways of moving your body that are joyful?
is ready to find your own version of healthy and stop living up to someone else’s standards of beauty and health?

In my Pilates and Yoga teaching, I work with many clients who struggle with persistent aches and pains, have spinal issues such as scoliosis, are dealing with chronic pain such as sciatica, are in rehabilitation for past injuries or recovering from surgeries such as knee and hip replacements. My clients range from the young to the elderly. I also have extensive experience working with clients who are breast cancer survivors, rehabbing from injuries or dealing with chronic conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and more.

The benefits of a regular yoga or Pilates practice are abundant. Yoga and Pilates can help relieve low back pain, increase flexibility, improve posture, correct imbalances in your body, create greater body awareness, and build all over body strength so you can live a pain free life.

LOVE FROM MY CLIENTS:

♥ “Over the past 4 months I’ve been fortunate enough to take both private and class lessons with Chris. He is an excellent instructor who exudes professionalism and infectious enthusiasm that sets the stage for a perfect learning experience. Chris possesses a fantastic understanding of the human body, movement, mechanics and the principles of Pilates. He expertly navigates through each session with finesse, adeptly tailoring the exercises to accommodate individual needs, abilities, and limitations. Whether working with a seasoned Pilates enthusiast or a newbie, Chris never fails to adapt his approach, ensuring that each client receives the utmost care and attention. Chris articulately explains the nuances of each movement, emphasizing proper alignment, breathing techniques and the mind-body connection. He has a gift for honing in on subtle corrections that yield amazing results – making even the most challenging exercises feel accessible and empowering. Chris fosters a nurturing and non-judgmental environment that promotes open communication and trust. In addition to his exceptional teaching prowess, Chris embodies the epitome of professionalism. Whether you are a person who has been practicing Pilates for 10+ years or it’s your first day in class, Chris will meet you where you are and inspire you to reach new heights! I wholeheartedly recommend Chris for anyone seeking a fun and transformative Pilates experience.” H. Nicole Barry

♥ “After a year of yoga and Pilates, my orthopedic specialist told me that, after examining my hip joint, she never would have known I have arthritis from the results of my exam. The arthritis I do have has stabilized. She also said I was “more flexible than most people,” which was great to hear. The classes are great and so convenient. “– Marianne O.

♥”I have been going to Christopher for eight months and I have improved balance, posture, flexibility, strength, and confidence in my own abilities…just like Christopher said I would, even though I didn’t believe him at first. Christopher is knowledgeable, professional, kind, and encouraging… especially when I’ve needed it most. Before this, I had never established any kind of regular fitness routine in my 43 years so I was skeptical, but I am now doing things I never thought I could or would!” – Laura C.

♥ “One thing that can happen as you mature in years is you might not feel as strong or as flexible as you used to feel. For me personally, Pilates and yoga have restored my strength and flexibility. Now when I hear my colleagues complaining about “getting old” I kind of smile, because it doesn’t have to be that way. You can take yoga and Pilates to make yourself healthy and vigorous. I’m in my early sixties and I find myself looking for more opportunities to walk and move more, and I even have a spring in my step!” – Mimi F.

♥ “More than any other teacher I’ve had, Christopher really brings the mind/body connection in his teaching. His cues of breath, alignment, etc have helped me to deepen my Pilates practice, understand Pilates better and the subtleties the practice offers! His passion for Pilates and what he does is very apparent” – Diane T.

♥”Christopher is an amazing Pilates Instructor. I was nervous to try Pilates at first, but Christopher assured me that he would be there to guide me through each step! During my session, Christopher explained which muscles I should be using with the correct postures & he would verbally assist me if I started to become unaligned in movements. Christopher took the time to answer any questions I had and he continually educated me about the safest way to go about each step. I left my first Pilates session feeling balanced and feeling a few muscles I had never felt before!”– Felicia M.

♥ ” Love the Pilates and yoga classes that Chris teaches. He is very patient and always explains how the particular pose helps you. Ever since I’ve been working with him, I haven’t had to go to my chiropractor. Love him; wish he could help me work out every day!”–Donna S.

♥”I have worked with and taken Chris’s classes for a few years now. He is knowledgeable, wonderful, caring and professional. Chris can always put a smile on my face.” – Leah A.

♥”First time learning Pilates. Chris was very professional and described in detail how the exercises work and the benefits. He was very informative and made sure I was doing everything correctly. He was also very patient with me, as I am a beginner.” – James.

♥”I initially booked a three private intro as a way to ease into group classes. I loved my privates with Chris so much that I wound up booking more privates with him. Can’t wait to come back to the studio when I’m in town.” – Gabby
