I came to Sanchez Street Studios with a somewhat persistent lower backache. I'd been working out with weights and doing cardio regularly at the gym but nothing seemed to help. The first mat class I took, I could tell that I was favoring parts of my body and unconsciously avoiding using certain muscles. I began to incorporate what I was learning from Pilates into my regular workout. After a few sessions with Carol, I noticed my back wasn't hurting me and that I was going for longer and longer stretches of time without pain. The quality of my personal exercise routine improved; my body was stronger and more flexible. Today I feel connections in my core that I have never felt. I am impressed with Carol's depth of knowledge about the body, her repertoire of exercises, and the variety she brings to the session. Best of all, she tolerates the faces I make as I try to do challenging exercises and we laugh a lot.
