A heartfelt, meet the team. 🤍Lynne🌴
I’m Lynne and I was first introduced to Pilates in 1981 at SUNY Purchase, NY, where I earned my BFA in dance. Had I known what I know now, I would have immersed myself then. I reconnected to the Pilates world again in Tucson, Arizona, 2011, when I was hired for a front desk position at a Pilates studio, which happened to be the international headquarters for Fletcher Pilates. I was infatuated with the movement and was fortunate to go through their programs, foundational & professional, and was promoted to teaching.
At the time Pilates felt like a continuation of my dance education, but I learned they are two totally separate entities. While dance is a beautiful art form, Pilates is a way of life: it carries into every body and every day life from young to mature. As I get older, I am becoming more aware of my body and the changes going on. As we get older we tend to lose our flexibility, we tend to lose our range of motion, we tend to lose our spinal mechanics. Older means we have “to work” on our posture, balance, abdominals/core: work everything in conjunction to move the body in an efficient way. It’s makes the quality of life as we get older more enjoyable.
I’ve been a part of the Palm Pilates team for 3 1/2 years. The students here are eager to learn and enthusiastic when it comes to movement. The studios are a perfect environment to move. All of the teachers are extremely professional and very helpful in their classes. I love jumping into a class as a student, as I need to “practice what I teach”. I enjoy teaching and introducing the Pilates principles, foundation and technique to all age groups from 18-92 year olds. Helping students to learn and understand their bodies is my passion. The “ah ha” moments when someone realizes they have the ability and the mechanics to do something correctly is very rewarding. It’s a way of life for me which I hope to pass on to all of my students. Proper technique, proper breathing, proper body mechanics, slow mindful and purposeful movement, is the way to receive the most benefits from your classes. Hope to have you in one of classes or sessions soon! 🤍 Lynne
