Pilates focuses on alignment during movement, while Yoga focuses on static poses and isometric contractions. Both practices complement each other in different ways with different goals. I am a licensed massage therapist. My goal is to utilize both the movement as well as manual therapy to help clients get out of pain and learn how to move better.

Laurie DiMatteo-Weiner PMA-CPT, ACE-CPT - is passionate about health and fitness and has dedicated her entire career to helping
others achieve life-long wellness. Her interest in fitness as a lifestyle began at a young age when she witnessed her father’s
dedication for coaching team sports and encouraging his children to participate in athletics.
Dee Arnold - I found Pilates as a matter of necessity. As an avid runner and group fitness instructor, I found myself becoming
chronically injured. I had to then find some sort of rehab-based movement that would allow me to continue what I love to do the most...run!!
To overcome injuries, I sought out Pilates and it has been nothing short of a miracle!! Pilates is a sort of massage that uses movement
to strengthen the core (back and front as well as the sides) and create symmetry in the body so your movement can become both efficient and powerful. 
Stacey Renee Benedetti - Stacey began dancing (tap, ballet, jazz) at the age of three, later adding pointe and lyrical to her studies as
well as dancing competitively from a very young age on through college.
Jen Tedesco - came to Pilates through ballet. As a professional dancer she trained with instructors to further her dancing abilities.
Having danced with the International Ballet Theatre, Sarasota Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet she retired from dancing from an injury and started
teaching ballet and planned on pursuing a pilates certification but marriage and babies came first. She had been teaching ballet for the past 10
years when a friend convinced her to get a barre certification. this renewed her desire to complete her certification in pilates. She started
working with Laurie Weiner and fell in love. Her previous exposure to pilates had taught her what it can do to help a dancer but how it can help
people from all walks of life and injuries abound was thrilling. She recently completed her training in Pilates Mat and Reformer under Laurie Weiner.
She is excited to work with Laurie and loves to "convert" people. She has hooked many of her friends who had not previously tried pilates.
She also loves introducing pilates to children as her own three children are now practicing.
