PILATES SPOTLIGHT - Stacy Weinstein  

Certified Core Dynamics Pilates Instructor
Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor

When a client comes into the studio and tells me they want to work their core, I grin a little and say, "Yes, of course we will work your core!" Not many people know, but quickly learn that your core involves more than just working your abs. Outside of a Pilates workout, I believe that Pilates can be incorporated into your day-to-day activities. How you walk, sit, and stand can make a huge difference in how you workout.

Prior to Pilates I was an avid runner and obsessed with yoga. I wasn't into slower movements. I didn't believe in a workout that didn't make me sweat. However, after being adjusted by a yoga instructor, and herniating a disc, I was limited to physical activity. Pilates was not only part of my physical therapy, but changed the way I felt and helped me realize the importance of slowing down, just a bit.
 
It was because of this, that I began teaching. Pilates truly affected the way I lived my life. I wanted to be able to help other people feel better and become more body aware, whether in class or in daily life.

I truly love to teach and can talk "Pilates" to anyone, but really like to focus on injury rehabilitation and prevention. My instruction might differ than that of another teacher in that you'll never do the same workout twice, possibly the same exercises, but I like variety, and I can't really count.
 
Sometimes hard to believe, I do have interests outside of Pilates, like yoga, hiking and running, and have been told to embrace the exercises I dislike, so my current favorite is the roll up/roll down.
