She became a certified fitness instructor while studying physical therapy at Tel Aviv University. After earning her Bachelor of Physical Therapy, she joined the PT department in an out-patient clinic. Gabi’s clinical work exposed her to patients of all ages challenged by a range of either chronic conditions or traumas. Given her previous experience with fitness instruction, Gabi was put in charge of establishing and running specialized exercise groups for patients.

Her many years of devotion to PT taught Gabi invaluable lessons about empowering people to gain control over their bodies and health. She quickly learned that this is where her passion lies. Gabi moved to Las Vegas with her family in 2000. Her first meaningful encounters with Pilates were through friends and family whose lives improved dramatically after their challenges were addressed with the Pilates method.

Gabi started teaching Pilates in 2014. She received her certification from Master Instructor Gracie Martinez. Since then, she has furthered her education studying the Franklin and Melt Methods and utilizes both of those in her daily teachings.

Gabi enjoys her commitment to the Pilates lifestyle and hopes to instill the same joy in her clients, as their overall health improves.

Maria lived in London, England for 22 years before moving to Carmel,IN 4 years ago. Upon relocating, Maria was delighted to find a vibrant, local Pilates scene. As a former competitive gymnast back in Europe, she has always been exposed to Pilates in one way or another so  completing 500 hours of training  incorporating the reformer, chair, ladder barrel, Cadillac, springboard, TRX, and classical mat felt like a perfect next step. Maria is passionate about teaching pilates to others. Her classes pay strong attention to form, correct alignment and in particular focusing on the importance of a strong core and its connection to all aspects of movement. Improving posture, energy levels, as well as one's overall well-being are additional key components in each class.
