Pilates is a practice with benefits that include improved posture, better coordination and balance, increased body awareness and injury prevention. Build strength and flexibility with this mind-and-body workout. Core strengthening and full-body lengthening and strengthening exercises will build a stronger, balanced body. Instructor: Tracey discovered Pilates later in life. After retiring from a 30-year career as an air traffic controller, she signed up for a series of Pilates mat classes and was hooked after the first class! She loved it so much that she continued with reformer classes and decided to become a teacher. She fell in love with Pilates because it offers a unique combination of benefits, and it is accessible to everybody. She completed the 500-hour Comprehensive Teacher Training certification in 2024 in Surrey and continues to teach on all of the apparatuses in North Saanich since moving here in the summer of 2025.
