Pilates Classes and Private Lessons
Book a Pilates private lesson in mat and/ or reformer with me! I teach private lessons in our home studio in Sandy Springs, GA.
To request a private lesson text me at 404-594-4197 or email to dancedusoleil@gmail.com.
Method:
After moving to Atlanta, I trained exclusively with the Balanced Body method, a modern and accessible style of Pilates. No longer just for dancers, it’s not unusual to see physical therapists in our classes.
My mentor is Leslie Clayton, a master Balanced Body Pilates instructor for over 30 years at her studio in Sandy Springs. I highly recommend all of my students to take a class from Leslie!
