We dive deep into breath work, working our deep core 360 degree muscles. Working into all planes of the body flexion and extension. Focus and bringing awareness to our alignment, strength, and how to create space in the body! Mat Pilates is the very method that changed my body as a young dancer and gave me the tools to strengthen my body so I could be more powerful and expressive while dancing!"Charisse is a native of Kansas City Mo. She moved to NYC in 1998 to study at The Ailey School. Throughout her professional dance career she discovered the benefits of Pilates and became certified in 2008 through The Physical Mind Institute and The Lab with Lawson Harris in Dumbo Brooklyn. She has spent the last 17yrs in NYC fine tuning her teaching style while working with clients of all walks of life in different chapters of their life. Charisse has always been passionate about movement and self expression. Pilates has been the ultimate injury prevention method and philosophy that has kept not only her body strong but her mind sharp as well. She loves to help clients become stronger, more knowledgeable about their own bodies and teaches methods how to maintain desired goals.
