Bella Vida Pilates

Melodie is an excellent pilates instructor. I had little/​no experience with pilates and decided to try out Melodie’s lunchtime pilates class in the park. With Melodie as a kind and encouraging instructor, I was pleasantly surprised at how fun this core training can be. Melodie is very patient with her students and always tells us personal anecdotes about how she mastered the particular technique she is demonstrating. As a beginning student, this was very helpful because it made me realize that just because I wasn’t mastering the technique on the first shot, for most people, it takes lots of practice and time.
Melodie is incredibly friendly and her words of encouragement and stories help the potentially pain-​inducing hour go by with record speed! After each session, I definitely felt sore in my abdominal region, but as the saying goes, no pain, no gain so I know Melodie’s workouts were doing me well.
