Linda Sellers I took the "Pilates Challenge" in 2009 after retiring from a 25 year teaching career. In the first 10 sessions I felt the difference! In twenty sessions I saw the difference! In thirty sessions I saw a whole new body! At the end of those 30 sessions and at the age of 50, I enrolled in the Pilates certification program at Second Wind® Pilates Plus® and started another wonderful journey of learning and teaching as a Pilates instructor with the studio. I enjoy the challenge of helping each student reach their full potential in a safe and comfortable environment. I guarantee you will leave my class feeling happier, healthier, fitter, and richer! |

Lanee Brown I began my relationship with the mind-body-spirit experience in the 80's with meditation. Current training is in the field of non-dualism philosophy, Yoga Nidra, and Tantric philosophy. My yoga certification primarily focused on the work of Vanda Scaravelli whose philosophy was "with allegrezza – an intelligent heart'. Iyengar and Kripalu techniques were also integrated. I have completed courses in Yoga Therapy, Pilates, Integrated Movement Therapies (IMT)® and Nia, and continue to expand my knowledge of Hatha Yoga, as well as Tai Chi & Qi Gong. Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Native approaches to wellness are of interest to me, with particular focus on aromatherapy and herbs. May we share the joy of life together. Namaste. |
