About

Bess was a classically trained dancer in both ballet and modern dance, and brings that background to her teaching. Pilates helped Bess stay in top shape for partnering (lifting men!) during her performing years. Bess is certified in the classical style of Pilates through POWER PILATES® (2003) and GYROTONIC® method Level I (2007) and GYROTONIC® method Level 2 (2015).

Bess’ teaching style emphasizes precision and quality of movement, while moving fluidly, finding strength and grace simultaneously. She enjoys helping a client find a deeper awareness of his/her body, acheive mental focus, release tension during a challenging physical workout.
