Does this girl teach Pilates in New York? I'd love to take her class.
Yes, if you go to her website, you'll see that information.
Correction: Kristin McGee has two Pilates programs from Acacia - Pilates for Beginners and Weight Loss Pilates not "Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners."
- Katie from Acacia
this is a joke...she calls it Pilates and I have never gardened in this fashion.Does gardening happen standing? Sorry, sounds like another bimbo selling Pilates for the media story- the host is on cue as well as the other manikins aside of her...they are quite colorful though with their tops.
and I say this as a 10 year pilates teacher, gardener AND I teach sensible movement classes for the garden that actually teach movement patterns not mirroring some touted NY Pilates teacher that gets her pretty little body on TV.
