Cindy is a dynamic and enthusiastic Pilates Instructor, based
in Orange County, CA. Originally from Los Angeles, CA, Cindy
received a BA in Communication Studies from California State
University of Los Angeles. Cindy has worked in the corporate arena
as a Human Resources professional for several years and has learned
such a great deal. However, her true passion for Pilates has been
tugging on her heart strings for many years and Cindy is finally
living and fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a Pilates
Instructor.
Cindy has been interested in the movement of the body and
fascinated by the relationship between body and mind, ever since
she took gymnastics and ballet as a child, and danced to the
rhythms of Salsa, Merengue and Cumbias as a young adult. Cindy was
introduced to Pilates in 2001 and it didn’t take her long to become
a passionate believer as she saw how the practice transformed her
posture, strength, body awareness, as well as her mind and spirit.
She was amazed when she was able to take modified Pilates classes
after fracturing her foot in 2004 and was able to strengthen every
part of her body in the interim. She started teaching Matwork
classes in 2015 and studied both Matwork and Reformer through the
school of John Garey Fitness & Pilates, in the Stott Pilates
method, pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates.

As a Certified Pilates Instructor, Cindy is excited about helping
her clients develop more mind/body awareness and to be a stronger
version of you. Her unique teaching technique allows for the
exercises to become a foundation for transforming everyday movement
patterns. These small changes make a huge difference. She ensures
to compliment all level types, and to incorporate modifications if
needed. As Joseph Pilates said, “It’s the mind itself which shapes
the body”.
When Cindy is not working, you can find her enjoying time with
her lovely family either doing outdoor activities or just relaxing
at home. She’s a great example to her children and strives to live
a healthy lifestyle on a daily basis. In addition to Pilates, Cindy
compliments her workouts with spin, yoga, jogging, and anything
that gets her heartbeat going. She continues to educate herself in
health and fitness and prides herself on offering her clients an
encouraging, thoughtful, yet fun and upbeat class.
Cindy is CPR certified and is excited to be a part of the
team!
Cindy’s favorite quote: “The smallest movements can make the
biggest changes”

My approach to fitness can best be summed up by what I call
the 3 F’s. Functional, Fun and Forward.
Fitness in my opinion should always be Functional in nature. What
that means is it should mimic the natural mechanics of our bodies
and help strengthen us in the repetitive execution of these natural
movements. What you do in the gym for an hour should make the
remaining 23 hours outside the gym easier.
Fitness should be Fun. It should be something you look forward to.
It should be the high point of the day as opposed to some dreaded
task you begrudgingly under take and try to rush threw. It should
be engaging, never boring, you should have a good time performing
the exercises you’ve selected and feel a sense of elation once the
workout is over.
Fitness should be Forward Thinking. Gone are the days of the
restrictive exercise directive that orders you to perform 6
straight sets of bench press at 225. Fitness should be innovative,
creative and inventive, employing the best methods and tactics from
different disciplines to bring about optimal health
