Maria brings joy, passion, and entertainment to the Pilates classroom! As a certified Stott Pilates® instructor since 2003, Maria is excited to be a part of the expansive and talented staff at Club Pilates. As a long-time teacher and practitioner of energetic bodywork, she feels that the body is a barometer of emotional states and, through movement and awareness, a return to “neutral or homeostasis” can be attained. Her one-on-one work is observation-based with a focus on how to empower each client in their own strengths and success. As a “newbie” to Colorado, she is still exploring EVERYTHING the mountains has to offer, but you will mostly find her hiking, biking, camping, skiing, playing the Himalayan singing bowls, and loving being here in the Colorado Mountains!
