Catherine Lapsley

Studio Owner

Certified STOTT Instructor

 

After being introduced to Pilates in the fall of 1999, I was amazed by the relief Pilates provided from chronic back issues and the positive effect it had on my core stability, overall strength and flexibility.

                                              

Having completed STOTT PILATES' Full Certification Program and all required exams, as well as their Injuries and Special Populations and Advanced Repertoire courses, I am certified to teach on all pieces of equipement and train at all skill levels.

By using current medical research and by drawing on up to date knowledge of physiotherapists and sports medicine professionals, STOTT PILATES continues to evolve its method with new findings, providing a very safe and effective way to practice Pilates while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the original method. Instructors trained by Stott are required to update their skills annually.

Pilates is a passion for me that I enjoy sharing with others while helping them to achieve their health and fitness goals.

Kirstin Hinton

Certified STOTT Instructor

Kirstin acquired her B.F.A. in acting at York University, where she was first

exposed to Pilates as a part of her ‘movement for actors’ training.   She

accredits both her acting training and work thereafter for her ability to help people connect mind to body; something Kirstin believes, along with postural alignment and imbalance-correction, to be the most important factor in any healing/training process.

 

Her L.A. teaching experience includes four years with renowned chiropractor Yoav Nagar, where she had the privilege of aiding and training clients through many varying injury and condition-recovery situations. But, because of having worked in L.A. as both a Pilates Instructor and actor, Kirstin understands and appreciates the ‘beauty’ aspect of Pilates, and always keeps a focus there as well.

Her client roster has included Rosy Perez, Bruce Hendricks (producer “Pirates of the Caribbean”), Doug Frank (President of Music Operations, Warner Bros.), as well as several other entertainment industry professionals, pro-athletes and dancers.

Stephanie Loubet

Certified STOTT Instructor

Stephanie is a fully certified Pilates Instructor, she's been teaching Pilates at all levels (essential, intermediate and advanced) and led private, semi-private and group classes in different fitness clubs for three years.
  
Her class focus is on strengthening the stabilizers of the torso. It frees the participant from poor postural habits, eliminating tension, stress and fatigue.  For her, stretching and toning is a must. 
 
"It is also important for my clients to enjoy the workout in a fun and entertaining environment, and I always do my best to make them progress to the next level. Be prepared to be challenged!
I really do take pride in my clients achievements."
