Caryn Chappell
InstructorWhen teaching Reformer Pilates classes, mindfulness and body awareness are top of mind! Caryn wants you to explore Pilates for its power and its subtleties, for its challenging movements and that feel-good elongation. Pilates is filled with opposition, and her goal is to share that with you while continuing to learn alongside you.
Caryn grew up dancing and moved to Toronto to pursue dance as a career. She performed professionally with various companies and loved her time both in the studio and onstage. She found Pilates and immediately felt at home. She wanted to learn more, so she completed her training at Mindful Movement Centre.
To her, Pilates is a continuous balancing act of mobility, strength, openness to new ideas, and the willingness to keep learning.
She is looking forward to moving with you in the studio :)
