Body Connection Pilates + More
Starting private lessons was the best decision I have made
in a long time. I have a new sense of body awareness, 
movement, mobility and breath work...plus all the little aches
​and pains in my back and knees have improved dramatically
​as I feel my core strength improving. An unexpected benefit,
my sessions have helped with my long distance cycling as 
​well. I have found myself engaging my core on tough climbs
and daily activity in general. I will for certain continue my
​training for a long time and excited to see where it takes me.

Nanette Hill
Pilates Instructor

​In my youth, I studied dance in NYC (Dance Theater of Harlem, Joffrey Ballet, School of American Ballet, Performing Arts/LaGuardia High School …the FAME school).

In the 1980’s, because of a knee condition, my doctor recommended I do Pilates to strengthen the muscles supporting my patella. Consequently, I was extremely fortunate to have practiced Pilates, personally, with Carola Trier, at her NYC studio. Carola was one of the original 14 people (known as the “elders”) who Joseph Pilates, himself, personally trained to be instructors.
​
Even though I have a contemporary Pilates certification, I come from a classical background and am guided by the principles and form of Contrology (the art of control.. the original name Joseph Pilates gave his practice). I believe that the principles of Pilates: Centering, Concentration, Control, Precision, Breath, and Flow, apply to instruction as well as to the practice itself.

I love being a guide for, and assisting clients through their journey as they manifest connecting to their bodies; transforming their practice, gaining better flexibility, mobility, strength, confidence and overall well-being for themselves.

I, myself, continue to be a student of Pilates (I am achieving my classical certification in the near future). Like my clients, I also take private classes with experienced instructors. It helps me in my own practice, with my own body. It also helps me to be a better instructor.

I believe, as humans, it is important, in life, to have things which bring us joy; things/experiences that make our hearts smile from the inside.

​Being a Pilates instructor is a very joyful, mindful experience for me. I find that when I am finished a session with a client, I feel energized and happier than I did beforehand (even if I felt great to begin with).
No matter what your physical condition is at the start, Pilates is not an easy practice. Yet, through every level, it challenges us in the best ways (physically, psychologically, emotionally) and I believe, with consistency, we end up better off for having experienced it.
