Centered Pilates

About

Private, individual pilates training from Stott certified Pilates Instructor, Laura Bovenkerk.

Story

I fell in love with Pilates while pursuing a dance career in New York City. At first, it was a way to alter my work out but soon it became a way of life. Pilates helped my body become longer and leaner, it made me feel great and made me a better dancer. Pilates is an efficient form of exercise which allowed me to feel centered and kept my body injury free and ready for the demands of my busy dance schedule. I performed on the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall as a Radio City Rockette for five years. During this time, I decided to pursue my certification so I could share my experience and love for Pilates with others. I chose to become a Stott Certified Instructor because of their attention to detail and focus on alignment and safety. I am a fully Certified Stott Pilates instructor, a certified TRX instructor and am working toward my ACE certification.

After teaching Pilates in New York City for 3 years, my husband and I decided to return home to Michigan. I was fortunate to find an excellent Pilates Studio in Bloomfield Hills where I honed my skills, advanced my certification and taught for nearly 8 years. I was surrounded by Stott Instructor Trainers and Physical Therapists. I learned so much while teaching and excelled to become a Senior Instructor. I taught clients ranging in age from 14 to 84, which is another reason why I love teaching Pilates; Pilates is for everyone. Your workout will be tailored specifically to your needs and personal goals, and I promise a fluid and dynamic workout that will improve your strength, flexibility and balance. After a session you are guaranteed to feel stronger, taller and centered.

Centered Pilates is located in a studio space in my home in Colony Woods. I am centrally located off of Centre Ave and 12th Street. You will find an airy studio, full of natural light, with state of the art Stott Pilates equipment. If you are looking for a boost in your cardio work-out, try jumping on the Reformer Rebounder. Want to intensify your strength training? The TRX and Tower Trainer are perfect for you. Whether you are a seasoned professional or have just heard great things and want to try something new, I promise to lead you through an efficient and safe work out, focused on your desired goals. Let’s get Centered!
