SPECIALIZED GYROTONIC MASTER TRAINER Level 1, Level 2 PRETRAINER

GYROTONER & Leg Extension Unit Master Trainer, STUDIO OWNER

I have been practicing Pilates and Yoga for 25 years and teaching since 2000, beginning under Romana Kryzanowska and Steve Giordano in New York City and upstate NY, and continuing my education under her teacher trainer Leah Chaback-Katz. As Romana learned directly from the originator, Joseph Pilates (and was his chosen successor) the training and standards were of the highest order. My continuing education under Power Pilates master trainers includes: advanced Cadillac, barrels, chair, tower, alignment and gait analysis, advanced reformer on the mat and pilates anatomy. I’ve also attended workshops with Blossom Leilani Crawford of Bridge Pilates, of Kathy Grant lineage. I added the 360 degree Pilates training with Benjamin Degenhardt, applications for knee with Irene Dowd, and have completed Mejo Wiggin's Classical Syllabus for additional input on the Classical system true to the unparalleled knowledge base of Romana Kryzanwoska. 

Having opened and owned several movement studios in Dutchess and Columbia counties in New York, and teaching seasonally at Strength and Clarity in Provincetown Cape Cod, my constant interest in continuing education has led me to pursue training in a variety of directions. Thai Massage Level 1 at the Royal School in Chiang Mai, Thailand and Lotus Palm in Canada; Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains; Leslie Kaminoff of the Breathing Project in NYC; and Irene Dowd’s full year-long anatomy course.

I was privileged to be able to immerse myself in the educational process of the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM since 2005, having first experienced it at Yoga Moves in 1998 in New York City. I am certified in GYROTONIC Levels 1 and 2 and Master Trainer in Level 1 and a LEVEL 2 Pretrainer, in GYROKINESIS Level 1 and Level 2 Beginner, and am an Authorized Pre-Trainer in both systems. I do regular refresher courses in all of the prior programs annually.  Specialized equipment certifications include Leg Extension Unit, Jump Stretch Board, Ladder, Archway Level 1 and 2, and GYROTONER.
