McCall Pilates Studio

 
Lisa Marie has been teaching Pilates and Personal Training for
over 14 years. She started practicing Pilates due to numerous
injuries from years of training, and a major ski accident in
1998.
She realized years of training without proper movement and her
past injury lead to her chronic lower back and neck pain. Her first
Pilates session with Steve O’Neil at the Pilates Studio in Salida,
Colorado taught her that she was not breathing correctly but
holding so much tension in her neck due to past injuries and
chronic allergies.
After just a few private sessions, she knew that Pilates was her
way to find relief and to move in an efficient, and graceful
way.  That day she realized, she needed to learn but also
share the Pilates method to all.
Lisa Marie is a Balanced Body Master Trainer, she can train
aspiring instructors on all apparatus and pilates equipment.
