Pilates By Dena

I began taking Pilates at Dena Curtain’s studio in January. I had pain in my shoulder and hip and decided I was too young (50) to feel so old! I signed up for one-​on-​one reformer sessions with Judy. To my surprise I’ve stuck with for 10 months– I’m hooked. I’ve gotten stronger and more flexible. My shoulder and hip pain is gone. I find the work outs appropriately challenging. Judy and Dena are careful to tailor each session to any physical concerns I might have. Their instruction is clear, informed and personalized. They offer cues that remind me to incorporate all the aspects that make Pilates so effective– engaging core muscles, correct technique, breathe work and focus. It feels like a mix of physical therapy, meditation and a thorough workout. They switch it up so I haven’t become bored and 9 months later I still feel like I’m am improving and learning. All four of the instructors– Dena, Lauren, Judy and Clint — are highly trained and easy to work with. I like that each had a slightly different style. There is something for everyone, male or female, young or old, beginner to pro, out of shape or super fit. The studio is spa like and attractive. It is located next to Calta gym– you’ll find it by is red awning. I highly recommend this studio!
