Fran Webb ClientWith Bettina Muench as your Pilates instructor you will receive the best of all worlds: As a Dancer Bettina understands the grace of the human body in motion. As a student of functional anatomy Bettina understands the mechanics of how the body is designed to work. As a student of Pilates she understands how the exercises should feel, and as an instructor she has the skill to cue her student with visual and tactile cues. This unique combination of skills will have the student moving and performing the exercises precisely and properly, leading to graceful, effortless movement and often alleviation of specific troublesome areas for each student. You will find yourself moving more gracefully, with better posture and improved locomotion regardless of your starting physique.
As Bettina’s student for the last eight years, my own physique has improved beyond recognition with only an hour per week of lessons and classes. After the first session alone, a 30 year lower back injury was completely relieved. Bettina is worth her weight in gold as your private Pilates instructor. This is an experience you will most certainly enjoy and keep coming back for more.
Jennifer Bergh Pilates TeacherWorking with Bettina has been very informative and exciting. She has such amazing knowledge of the body and its functional movement. I always learn something. She has liberated my hips and improved my teaching skills.
Uli MuenchHaving been a competitive cyclist and a marathon runner I’m attuned to endurance sports. While Pilates made sense to me, it never struck me to give it a try.
A couple of years ago I started to experience pain in my right leg. Pain that grew from uncomfortable to really annoying: on bad days running was impossible, sitting in a car or plan and even lying in bed hurt.
After six months of seeing various orthopedics and PT’s, a diagnosis of inflamed hamstring, antibiotics and no improvement, one doctor started to suggested that the pain may come from my sciatic nerve, triggered by a bulged disc. Bettina suggested giving Pilates a try before considering surgery. She gave me simple daily exercises that I could perform in my hotel room while traveling. I still was not convinced that this would help but it was worth a try. After just a week my leg felt better and after three weeks I was pain free. And I am pain free to this date.
Thank you Bettina!
Sheila Spagnolo ClientWhat differentiates Bettina as a Movement and Pilates teacher for me is her holistic approach- I feel that she exercises my mind, body and spirit. She has taught me so much about the function and flow of my body- incorporating this into my workout makes them seem effortless yet effective. I leave my sessions with Bettina feeling well exercised, balanced and grounded.
