Accessible and inclusive to all bodies. \nStudents should bring their own water bottle and mat. \nCost: $15 Single Class \nREGISTER HERE\nAccepted Payments: Pre-registration through registration platform. Drop In ( Venmo\, Paypal Cashapp\, Zelle) \n\nWhat is the legacy of the genre/form/style you are teaching?\nMat Pilates is a low-impact exercise that uses body weight to strengthen and lengthen the body\, particularly the core. It’s based on the original exercises created by Joseph Pilates\, and can be practiced on a mat with little to no equipment. \nWhat background\, training\, and or relationship do you have with this style/technique/class subject?\nCarolina started her journey teaching in 2020. She has always been an active person participating in track\, playing soccer\, biking\, and bouldering. In 2018 she started to take yoga classes and Pilates classes.

Carolina’s certifications all align in how she teaches her classes that are mindful and invigorating. \nFinish this statement: I am passionate about teaching this style because…\n…growing up I never had representation or encouragement in movement.
