Alix Buss - October 2004

I first experienced Pilates as a dance major in college. On the first day of my freshman year, I received my schedule, and there it was... Pilates 101. Little did I know, a Pilates class was part of my college's requirements to be a dance major. I had group sessions twice a week, was required to write papers, and received two academic credits! Shortly after beginning the Pilates classes, I noticed a difference in my posture and in my dance technique. I continued to take Pilates throughout college and credit it to my, thus far, injury-free dance career.

My senior year at college, Romana Kryzanowska, a master teacher of the Pilates Method, taught a week long intensive program at my school. She was really exciting to be around and inspired me to pursue teaching Pilates. Upon graduating as a dance major, teaching Pilates seemed like a natural choice to complement my desire to dance professionally. It's a great way to stay in shape (as you all know!) and I really enjoy working with people.

Since completing the Teacher Training Program at Excel, I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for Pilates and for its ability to help people stay healthy. What is most exciting for me about Pilates is the process. I never stop learning and am constantly challenging myself to work harder. I look forward to passing on that journey to as many people as possible!
