Looking for a gentle, relaxed yet focussed workout?
Have you tried the powerful combination of Yoga and Pilates?

In the Spring of 2004, at the end of a holiday in the sun, Michaela was approached by a friendly middle aged man and his wife, who introduced themselves as fellow Canadians.
Asking Michaela not to take offence at his remark, the man inquired about her exercise program, wondering what could help keep her in such great shape. In particular, he noticed the fluidity of her movements, and what appeared to be incredible abdominal strength. He explained that throughout his life he had practiced a variety of sports and physical regimens, but none appealed to him as much as swimming. He had hired a swimming instructor, he said, with the goal of learning how to “swim like a dolphin”. Much to his disappointment and frustration, his hard work had not produced the streamlined fluid movements that so attracted him to swimming. By watching Michaela walk on the beach, he realized her method of exercise could be the answer and he expressed great interest in learning more and trying some of the simple Pilates moves immediately. He had his first New York Pilates lesson right there in the hotel lobby!
Afterwards his wife whispered to him “I told you so”, and explained to Michaela how she was participating in Pilates classes, and had tried to convince her husband that Pilates was what he was looking for. Her passion for Pilates came from how good it made her feel about her inner self and her body.

It was this enthusiastic encounter with two people who had very different goals but who found Pilates as the perfect fit, that convinced Michaela to offer this class at Symmetria.
