When I met Karey back in 2001, she was my first Yoga/Pilates instructor. I soon began to realize that what I learned from her was enhancing my performance and enjoyment of other sports. At that time I was heavily into squash and tennis and had just gotten back into martial arts after a 15 year hiatus.
I know that my Yoga/Pilates experience was the main reason for me advancing a few levels in my squash league and my added flexibility helped me get to shots that I would have normally missed in tennis.
When I started to advance again in martial arts, I could notice an instant benefit in flexibility and balance from the Yoga and core strength from the Pilates. I study both Karate and Jiu-Jitsu, each having unique demands on the body, but both having direct connection to exercises taught to me by Karey. I have since become a martial arts instructor, and I continue to use these exercises to help my students.
A few years later, I reconnected with Karey, but this time as a personal trainer. I came to realize that she’s a master of body mechanics and she quite naturally tailored exercises that helped me with my martial arts.
I have had other Yoga/Pilates instructors and other personal trainers, but none can hold a candle to Karey. She is truly a gem and I feel blessed to know her.
