ABOUT MARY

LICENSED PRETRAINER

I became involved with Pilates while attending SUNY New Paltz as an undergraduate. Soon after completing my degree, I began an apprenticeship program under Petie Russo’s tutelage. It was during this period of focused study, observation, and supervised teaching that I discovered the subtle beauty of Pilates.

To stay connected to the discipline and as part of my apprenticeship, I worked with Pilates instructor and fitness “guru”, Steve Giordano, focusing on the anatomy of movement. Pilates is the connection between mind and body manifested through physical movement; my training with Giordano focused on the anatomical part of that relationship.

My exposure to GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM came first as a client, followed by completing the initial certification program in 2015.  I spent the previous year as an apprentice, devoted to learning the intricacies and real heart of this movement system.  GYROTONIC casts a net that allows the practitioner to draw on an array of movement systems – like yoga, ballet, and swimming – while still connecting back to its core principles.  I am continually excited and surprised by the GYROTONIC Method and am committed to understanding and expressing its layered and intelligent beauty in my teaching and practice-licensed in levels 1&2.

Through continuing education, I have worked with amazing movement specialists, including Bob Liekens, a Pilates Master Trainer, Jackson Kellogg, Erika Hassan and Cori Doetzer, mainly as my GYROTONIC Master Trainers.  Their influence and vast reservoir of knowledge have fundamentally changed how I understand movement, as well as the instruction of others in movement. My certifications include Archway 1&2, Jump Stretch, Leg Extension unit, and this Spring will include both Gyrotoner programs.

I currently reside in the Hudson Valley and teach at Physique in Kingston.   I am always intently focused on understanding movement and its relationship with our anatomy, while drawing inspiration from what I encounter in my daily life and other physical disciplines.

I have been instructing since 2009 and have worked with people of all levels – including pre-teen athletes, post-surgery recoverers, and expectant mothers

I look forward to helping you strengthen and understand your body!
