Rachel Sattler

Pilates/Mat Class

 

     Rachel grew up dancing in Carson City, NV.   Dance has led her from Sacramento to France through much of Europe and to the Dominican Republic.  In 2003, it brought her to NYC.  

     Throughout her early dance years, cross-training with Pilates and weights played an important role, and in 2004 she found her way to Pilates and personal training as a career.  She is a certified in PMA, ACE and continually furthers her education in everything from knee rehab to pre/post natal fitness.  Her training style infuses Pilates, yoga, calisthenics and her perspective on alignment, coordination and balance from years as a dancer.  She strives to create an environment of heightened focus and self-awareness to inspire growth, whether her students are new to exercise or gym rats.

 

Class Description

Open Level Mat Class begins with a review of the "basics" of breath, alignment and brief description of the focus of the class.  It is followed with pilates mat exercises that increase in challenge and finishes with a ten minutes stretch.  Some yoga and dance exercises may be added in and modifications will be given for both beginning and advanced students.
