Client Spotlight

While we all have the same 24 hours in a day to work with, sometimes it's not easy to fit everything in - I'm a single mom with my own business, an avid volunteer, and an adjunct professor at NYU - I seem to get more done when I consistently create space to focus on my Pilates practice. I leave the studio more fit- both physically and mentally. It's been a regular and integral part of my life for almost seven years, including through my pregnancy, and I credit my core work with Charlene and resulting tone and increased body awareness for a very pleasant and easy natural birth. Sometimes just an hour a week, sometimes more, Pilates helps me to be the best mom, friend, coach, teacher and person I can be.
