Tamara Stocks, INstructor
As a former professional basketball player, Tamara knows first-hand the healing benefits that Pilates provides. She credits Pilates for allowing her to remain pain-free despite having 3 degenerated discs in her lower lumbar from 20+ years of participation in competitive sports! As a Pilates instructor, Tamara takes your health and well-being very seriously. She lives for the “aha” moments that help elevate and progress your Pilates practice, so she stresses the importance of proper alignment, muscle activation, movement principles and core stability in all of your sessions. Her athletic workouts will challenge you both physically and mentally, and ultimately enhance your mind-body connection so you can reap all the healing benefits that Pilates provides.
