PILATES / GYROKINESIS  INSTRUCTORS

JO BROOKS

Director of the Pilates and Gyrotonics at The Moving Arts Center at Sierra Fitness

My Pilates Philosophy is simple...Work smart, not frantic! In a day when we have little time to spend on our health, it is important to spend our time wisely. As a former Dancer/Performer, I used Pilates first for rehabilitation after an injury and then for maintaining my strength and endurance. Utilizing the techniques designed by Joseph Pilates, I studied the Romana style and am certified among others by The Pilates Coach. We can work to condition a de-conditioned body, rehabilitate a healing body or fine tune the athletic body.

KARLA LAFALCE

I love what I do! I believe in making fitness fun. That's the most important ingredient in my training. I want my clients to keep coming back for more! The mind, body and spirit need to be exercised for complete wellness. I am certified by the Long Beach Dance Academy.

BECCA FRANKS

Pilates is phenomenal for all levels of fitness. It may be the cross training for an elite athlete, the secondary rehabilitation for an injury, or a great workout for someone who wants a longer stronger body. I have experience with special needs including osteoporosis, scoliosis, posture correction, back pain, anklosing spondylitis, Parkinson Disease and pre and post natal conditioning. I am a Level 2 Certified and teacher facilitator through master teacher Ron Fletcher. I have a B.F.A. in Dance and am a Certified Yamuna Body Rolling practitioner.

MIDJI STEPHENSON

Pilates is a journey, not a destination. It is a thoughtful movement and mindful conditioning - a holistic approach to functional fitness and health which can be done throughout one's life. I am certified in mat and machines, did training with Long Beach Dance Academy and have a Yamuna Body Rolling Level 2 Certification.
