Core Pilates on 17th
The Teaser May 2009
Greetings!

Ah, June in San Francisco: the sun sets after 8, but the fog rolls in at 5 pm. Keep your body fit and warm with Pilates. We've added a few new classes to the schedule -- like Jump Board-Chair on Saturday mornings -- just to keep things fresh and challenging. If you haven't already meet our new instructors, Laura Blakely, and Kristen Philipkoski. Lastly, don't forget our birthday - it's coming up in July! Can you believe it? It's 5 years of Core Pilates on 17th already!
Thanks for choosing Core Pilates on 17th!

Laura BlakelyAs we mentioned last month Laura joined the Core Pilates team as a Senior Instructor. With an MFA in Modern Dance and Certification from Polestar Pilates, Laura applies a somatic approach to movement, using imagery and gentle breathing and cueing techniques in her classes and solos. Laura teaches several classes throughout the week.

Book your next class or appointment with Laura!
 
Kristen PhilipkoskiAfter being a client of the studio for over two years Kristen is now joining our staff as an Apprentice Instructor. A freelance journalist, Kristen spends hours sitting in chairs and staring at computers, which led to neck and back pain. Her passion for fitness eventually led her to Pilates, where the precise and balanced movements helped ease her discomfort and increased her overall strength. That's when she knew she wanted to share her Pilates experience and teach others to reap the same rewards. Kristen completed the Balanced Body Mat training in Paris in 2008 and will participate in the Pilates Academy International Reformer training at Core Pilates on 17th this summer. Try her Mat class at 9 am on Saturday morning!
