Cheshire Pilates Studio

Kellie Codianna had an ice skating accident in 2008 and encountered a knee injury that shifted into her pelvis and landed in her back. It stayed there for 3+ years.

Although she spent a lot of time and money with energy workers, massage therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists, nothing gave her the relief she sought. Until she walked into a Pilates class!

After one mat class, she felt as if her back had shifted into the alignment she needed. She knew that she needed to learn this modality to help herself and others. She joined a teacher-training with inBalance. A long-time yogi, Kellie soon realized that Pilates is Yoga's opposite... And we all need both!

Nadine Phillips has been practicing pilates
for over 10 years. Phillips received her Stott mat certification in
2003, and her certification in reformer, cadillac, chair and
barrels in 2004. She has continued her education with Stott, taking
the Advanced Reformer class and Injury and Special Populations
class in 2005. In 2006, she took courses focusing on the fitness
ring and prenatal pilates. Not only can she relate to the regular
client, but she can also accommodate the injured and advanced
client as well. In 2007, she finished Advanced Cadillac, Chair and
Barrels finishing all of the available STOTT pilates courses.

She opened Cheshire Pilates in the fall of 2005 after teaching at
several pilates studios across Connecticut. With just one reformer
and space for only 8 people in a class, Nadine decided it was time
to expand her studio. After one year, the business has grown to
accommodate more people and new state of the art equipment. She now
owns a well established business for over 5 years with all
certified stott pilates instructors.
