myra_green Myra Green
Myra is Stott certified in Mat, Reformer, and small apparatus including the spine corrector,  cadillac, stability chair, ladder and arc barrel. She also trained in anatomy and working with people with injuries and health issues. Myra believes Pilates is a way to positively alter your body and build abdominal strength as well as capitalizing on the mind body connection to reduce stress. Making a career change from social work to teaching Pilates full time was an  easy one for Myra when she saw the dramatic changes Pilates can make to your body, your emotion and your energy.
lisa_halloran Lisa Halloran
Lisa’s interest in movement education began with her love of dance at a very young age.  Lisa’s dance training continued during and after college as she studied Ballet, Toe, Tap and Jazz.  In 1982, a friend encouraged Lisa to try an Aerobics’ class, which she reluctantly agreed to and became hooked.  As a result, she began teaching group exercise in 1983.  Lisa has taught High and Low Impact Aerobics, Step, Muscle Conditioning, Yoga and now Stott Pilates.  Lisa is also a Massage Therapist which brings a unique perspective to her teaching.  Lisa likes to analyze the body for weaknesses and imbalances and help the client understand the change in strength and flexibility available through Pilates.  Lisa’s philosophy is that Pilates is the foundation of core strength which enhances all other forms of exercise.

Susan first became interested in Pilates while studying dance, and later began to take Mat Pilates classes to alleviate occasional back pain. Enthusiasm and belief in the success of Pilates led Susan to study Stott Pilates, completing all levels of coursework for both Mat and Equipment based Pilates, as well as the study of Pilates for clients with injuries or physical limitations. Susan has also completed workshops on Pilates with Flexbands and Pilates for Athletic Performance. Susan is also AFAA certified in Resistance Training. Susan believes that Pilates' core strength and stability training benefits anyone and everyone. From the athlete training for a specific event, a client looking for improved conditioning, to the person recovering from an injury, Pilates enhances overall conditioning, performance, and well being.
