As a middle-aged man seeking alternatives to traditional forms of exercise, I was initially skeptical of enrolling in pilates classes. Like many adult males, I viewed pilates and yoga in the abstract: It was designed for females or for soft men unable to endure the rigors of hard, physical training. After suffering a slight injury which restricted exercise, I acted on the recommendation of an acquaintance who had long praised the arts of pilates and yoga as an alternative physical activity.
After carefully researching local studios in the city, I registered for private sessions with Marilyn, the owner of Sana Vita, for over one year before moving into group class. In my third year, I have continued with yoga and pilates and have found both forms of physical conditioning to be extraordinarily beneficial in increasing my flexibility, joint mobility, balance and overall strength, and reaching all my muscle groups.
With a command of both arts, all three trainers with whom I am acquainted, Marilyn, Jessica, and Erica, have broadened my exercise horizons and have taught me health maintenance is achieved as successfully on a reformer and a mat as it is with weights.
The owner and her staff are wonderful professionals!
