We Found Classical Pilates in the Catskills!

Those of you that know me know that Pilates, specifically classical Pilates, is a very important part of my life. Whenever I travel for work I always try and find a local studio where I can practice, even if it means working out to a version of Pilates that in reality has no connection to the method Joseph Pilates developed. At this point I have practiced Pilates all over the world, from London to San Francisco. I know a good classical Pilates studio when I see one and I’m pleased to be able to add a studio in the Catskills to my list.

Pilates Body is for Everybody

Pilates Body is a full-service classical Pilates studio located in Monticello, NY that also offers Barre and dance classes. Owned by Jennifer Van Etten of Neverskink, Jenn is a dancer and Pilates instructor/teacher trainer certified by Power Pilates in Manhattan. I’ve actually known Jenn for many years, she was one of my instructors when I was going through the Power Pilates certification program, and sometimes I was lucky enough to get on her schedule and be able to train with her as a student.

Now I feel extremely fortunate to have found her studio in Monticello, which consists of of a large open space with a reformer, high chair, spring board and barre. Jenn is a highly knowledgeable and experienced trainer and easily adjusts to all of her clients’ needs – if you are just starting or have any physical challenges you are working through she will work with you to help you learn and adjust. And if you want her to kick your ass no worries she will do that too!

Jenn offers a full schedule of Pilates classes and is also available for Private/Semiprivate sessions by appointment. She also has been branching out with Barre and children’s dance classes, so if you are local and have kids you should definitely look her up, and be sure to tell you Katie from Brooklyn sent you 😉
