Colleen also teaches mat Pilates. "I love that Pilates is designed to help you achieve your most optimum alignment. And it's a wonderful cross training for yoga and other exercise." She is Mat Level 1 certified through the Pilates Institute of America. “It’s important to be strong, flexible and balanced, and yoga and Pilates not only do that, but also help develop a greater awareness of your body and a sensitivity to how it works, moves and changes. And both yoga and Pilates are practices you can take with you through your whole life.”
