Chronic upper body and lower back pain led me to explore a number of fitness and healing modalities such as yoga, physical therapy, neuromuscular training, and Alexander Technique. Yet I soon discovered that most exercises my physical therapist prescribed were Pilates-based. This inspired me to become an instructor to help others experience the great results of Pilates Mat work. I loved teaching in-person at studios and private homes throughout New York City, yet I wasn't sure how to continue when the pandemic hit. Once I started offering classes online, I soon realized that the classes were just as effective and much more convenient! Pilates has helped me to reduce my pain and increase my strength and mobility after experiencing chronic back issues. I truly enjoy introducing others to all the benefits Pilates has to offer. I also work with individual clients in their own homes or via Zoom to provide specialized exercise programs for participants with a variety of physical challenges and limitations. I also teach at New York Athletic Club, Broadway Dance Center, Pilates on Fifth, and in private residential programs. I am a model for LindaFit’s online Pilates Mat classes.

During my Zoom classes, I keep an eye on each participant, and suggest adjustments to ensure that everyone is doing the exercises correctly. I will demonstrate each exercise, offering verbal instructions as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be35f44ae49b3b93b0563d/1630530363762-3EB61JC64KIRJSUIKM8Y/YvetteGIF-01259.jpg Class Info - For everybody, anywhere! These classes are open level, which means that I will demonstrate exercise adaptations for beginners and progressions for more advanced students. No matter how small or large your workout room, I’ll provide adaptations to help you make the most of your space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be35f44ae49b3b93b0563d/1630525453485-5IHHYQC85F0FDPX449O9/IMG_6893.JPG Class Info - What you’ll need You’ll need to set your computer camera so that I can see your entire body while exercising. This way, I’ll be able to observe your movements and offer corrections or exercise adaptations. You may keep your camera off if you prefer, just note that I won’t be able to offer you corrections. All you really need to get started is an exercise mat. I do incorporate props in my classes, such as a yoga block, resistance band, or small (1 or 2 pound) hand-held weights, but all exercises may be done without them. https://www.pilates4tightplaces.com/is-pilates-right-for-you daily 0.75 2021-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be35f44ae49b3b93b0563d/1630530215852-3QGPKRGN7E9LC3VJCD5E/YvetteGIF-01229.jpg Is Pilates Right for You?
