Date: Saturdays
Time: 11:30am-12:30pm

Lyn-Dell Wood invites you to her New Pilates Mat Class on Saturdays at Studio 206, beginning May 12th at 11:30am.  She will use the Stott Pilates technique for this open level mat class.  The class focus will be on developing longer leaner muscles, a stronger and more stabilized core, better coordination, increased balance, flexibility, improved posture and a greater mind-body awareness.  Students may bring their own mat to class if they wish.  Flex bands and eventually the stability ball will be used as part of the class regimen.

She came to Pilates through dance while in graduate school and teaching dance in the early to mid 1990s.  She found Pilates helpful and incorporated it into her own personal fitness routine.  In 2000, she moved from Columbus Ohio to Palm Coast Florida.  While there she began to teach dance, yoga and Pilates.  Then after two car accidents which required Physical Therapy and Pilates rehab she returned to her hometown of Charlottesville.  She then started the Stott teacher training program through Balanced Pilates in Richmond, VA and received her Stott certification in early 2011 in mat Pilates through the advanced level.

After receiving her certification she taught freelance and substituted mat classes.  She has along the way continued to work with private students.  In addition to her certification she previously received her B.S. in dance from Radford University and her M.A. in dance from The Ohio State University.

Lyn-Dell, brings her twenty plus years of teaching dance to her love of Pilates.  Her hope is to train each student through educating them in the Pilates method with her own caring style so that they can achieve their own personal goals.  When off the mat, she enjoys dancing, her turtle Lemon, her guppies and snails and hanging out with Joe.
