Roxann
Woods first
saw Pilates on The Oprah Show in 1998 and went out and bought
a tape to begin practicing but saw little results. A year and
a half later after the birth of her
second child, she suffered a
spinal injury and again sought out Pilates to help with back
pain. This time she went out a Pilates studio to take
private sessions. She found with the tapes she was just
doing the moves without using the right abdominals muscles,
breathing or correct form. Eight months later she was totally pain free,
was stronger in her core, and
was able to stand up straight again. After seeing and feeling dramatic
results,
she began her path as a Pilates Instructor to help
others learn the benefits of Pilates practiced the correct way |
| Roxann is

Mahala
McClure began her
interest in Pilates, with her love of dance and movement. She
studied all disciplines of dancing for 18 years. She has been
a member of the Appalachian State University Dance Ensemble,
ASU Dance Team, and the NCSU Dance Team as well as
participating in private dance companies in the Triangle.
In 2001 she attended the American Dance Festival at
Duke
University
. This intensive program allowed her to take 3 hours of
Pilates a day for six weeks. The exposure to two different
teaching styles and methods gave her a broad sense of how
Pilates could be tailored to any individual. The benefits of
Pilates were not only obvious in her dance technique, but also
in her everyday movement.
She is a certified in
both Mat and Apparatus in 2001. She acquired most of her teaching
experience through local Pilates Studios in
Raleigh
, and local Gym’s. Mahala helped create the first Group
Fitness Pilates Program at NC State
|
|
University teaching all
ages, 18-70, and fitness levels, novice to advance. In 2005
she became certified through PCC in the Reformer. She has been
at Pilates the Form since 2005 and enjoys any challenge a
client can bring her.

Diane
Klotz grew
up playing sports-everything from backyard wiffleball and
kickball to organized soccer and field hockey. Initially
believing that
Pilates
was only for dancers and the Hollywood elite, she passed it
over as a physical fitness option for herself until
Pilates arrived at her gym. She
thought she would give it a try and began practicing
Pilates
in 2001 to complement her other fitness activities which at
the time included running and weight training. After
witnessing how
Pilates
improved her running and posture, as well as maintained her
muscle tone without continued weight training, in 2002 she
decided to further her study of
Pilates
through certification. Diane
began sharing the ability of
Pilates
to strengthen and transform the body as a group fitness
instructor in a gym setting.
In early 2006 she joined
Pilates
the Form where she is privileged to be able to work closely
with |
|
clients to individualize
their
Pilates
workouts and help them achieve their personal fitness goals.
Diane
is certified on both mat and equipment and enjoys continuing to learn about and
refine her own knowledge and practice of
Pilates
through sharing it with others. When she is not teaching
Pilates,
Diane
is a scientist with a PhD in molecular biology.

Karen
Capps has always
been a fitness nut in part because of a family history of
cancer and heart disease. She started weight training in
college and took up competitive running in 2000. Knee
pain and a pulled hamstring sidelined her in 2002. The
orthopedic doctor recommended physical therapy and it was here
that she was introduced to Pilates and the value of regaining
range of motion and balance. She started practicing to a
tape and taking some classes, but not consistently.
Then
in 2003, neck pain and migraine headaches drove her to the
chiropractor, who, again, emphasized the need for strong a
core, balance, and flexibility. He had her to give up
weight training because it was reducing her flexibility.
Desperate to engage in some type of activity, she started
taking Pilates classes at Pilates the Form. Her
excitement grew as she noticed the |
| changes
in her body and
fewer trips to the chiropractor. Under Roxann’s
positive instruction and encouragement, Karen obtained her
certification in to teach Mat and Apparatus
classes. Her
goal is to pursue higher level certifications in order to
better meet the needs of her clients. |

Mandy
McLin was
exposed to the Pilates method in high school to improve dance
technique and found it to be very helpful. Several years
later, in 2002, she enrolled in a Pilates class at Pilates the
Form and noticed improvement of posture and muscle tone along
with the decrease of back pain. It also boosted
confidence and happiness in life. She has always been
interested in fitness and in how the body works together to
carry out a movement. After several graduate courses in
anatomy and medicine, she decided that she wanted to learn how
to help people through Pilates, such as in decreasing lower
back pain. Mandy is a certified Mat Instructor. She is
currently continuing to further her knowledge of
pilates through additional certifications and training.
