Pilates and Yoga For Life

I am so glad that I found the studio via groupon! I was missing my previous studio and was contemplating driving 30 miles but found this gem of a place! Everyone is so welcoming and I was not intimidated by those who could do the more advanced moves. The studio is clean, well kept, and so inviting. I will certainly be back!

I love Dede and the ladies in the Tuesday 8:30 class! I especially love a week when I can sneak in a second class.

This is an amazing and place to exercise and a pilates studio. I have always been an active person and in great shape (so I thought), but the owner, Melissa Flores, changed my body and life. Not only is she beautiful on the inside and out, but she has a depth of knowledge of the art of pilates that has been taken from Joseph and Romana — the founder and original apprentice. I have gained body awareness and muscle memory that I did not know what possible!
Private lessons are not cheap, but it is something I will always keep in my budget. You can take skills you learn in class home and change how you execute all of your movements! Pilates for Life has improved my form in all of my daily activities, from how I drive, sit to watch tv or at the computer, to correcting my posture. I look so much more erect and confident in photos since I have been taking classes.
Despite having a Master’s in International Business, I in fact fell in love with pilates, and plan to train and become an apprentice and instructor one day!
*I have done a dozen or so pilates dvds, and I recommend taking a class with Melissa or someone who has been skilled in the teaching of Joseph and Romana for a real awakening — there are so many subtleties in the form of pilates that can not be learned or understood unless you are with a professional.

I have never tried yoga before, but am thoroughly enjoying my experience in De De’s hot yoga class. She is a talented instructor with a heart of gold. Her knowledge of yoga and her gracious way of helping those of us who are new to the disciple are a rare combination. I cannot recommend her class enough!!!
