Deb is thrilled that she has the opportunity to share her passion and love for pilates AGAIN in beautiful South County Rhode Island! She has been practicing Pilates for over 20 years and has been teaching for 17 years. Deb is a STOTT Pilates trained Instructor in Mat, Reformer, Cadillac, Prenatal, Tower, TOTAL BARRE & Fascia work. She is looking forward to including more Fascia work in her clients sessions through the MELT method. Deb has seen the amazing benefits of quality Pilates training to improve core strength, increase flexibility, injury prevention and recovery. Always continuing her education, she will bring new techniques and challenges to her clients and classes of all ages and fitness levels. Deb's favorite Pilates reformer exercise is Control Front Plank. This is a challenging full body engagement move to perform using your core, glutes and shoulders to stabilize the spine and pelvis. She loves to finish with feet in straps to get a nice stretch through your hamstrings and back! You are guaranteed to get a head to toe workout in all of her classes.
