Alex Nicolas Alex first came to Pilates because of low back pain induced by many years of sitting at a desk. After a few months of practice, she was feeling better and her low back pain was on its way out. A few years later, reading Joseph Pilates Return to Life through Contrology, she was blown away by his empowering people to take care of their physical and mental health proactively through breath and movement. When the pandemic hit, she took the opportunity to deepen her practice by completing a comprehensive teacher training program through Balanced Body.
