Athletes, actors, businessmen/women, and dancers all over the world have practiced yoga and pilates for decades!

Are you longing for strength, flexibility, relaxation, and health? Or do you need a challenge to your exercise regimen? Try yoga and pilates. There is a misconception about yoga. It is not “twisting into a pretzel”. It is self discovery, self healing and self transforming. It is an addition to your life that you will notice after your first class. If you are already an athlete, you will notice how much better you will be at your game. There is a level for everyone.

There is also a misconception that pilates is for women.  This is farther from the truth!  Joseph Pilates developed his exercises for men.  In addition to developing strength and flexibility, it increases the awareness of the core muscles, and how important they are to any sport or activity that we do.  Good posture brings great energy!  I encourage men to add it to their exercise regimen and feel the difference. Grab a group of friends and reserve a private class!

We are not far from Belchertown, Holyoke, South Hadley, Amherst and Ludlow. Check out the local studio in the Pioneer Valley that has been voted one of the best for yoga and pilates in the pioneer valley.

Recently, Gayle appeared on MassAppeal to discuss the benefits of Pilates:

Drop-in new students welcome to any class that is suitable to level.

Exhale as you enter my studio. And as it becomes your home, begin to experience your body’s awareness of health and happiness through your practice.”
