Mind & Body Pilates — Attraction in Seattle

I started practicing Pilates in 2019 on my physical therapist’s recommendation and have taken classes at different studios in a few countries.

Dana, the owner, has been teaching Pilates in Seattle since the 90s, and his depth of knowledge really shows. He tailors the practice to each person, making sessions both effective and enjoyable.
