When I was in school, I was a city athlete so naturally exercise was part of my daily routine.
Aside from sports, I was also apart of a dance group which helped me express myself through movement. Growing up with sports and dance throughout my youth left me wanting to explore more forms of movement and exercise as a young adult. I was thrilled when I discovered Pilates. Pilates is not a traditional form of workout where you sweat and lose weight but it teaches you to move with control and elegance. I am very excited to be teaching Pilates in Korean at Bodyline! Eve is certified by Balanced Body and was trained in Pilates by Maria Leone.
