Hey, it's Gio!
I teach pilates & movement in NYC,
and MUNZ FLOOR® on Zoom
My Approach
As a teacher, I am patient, articulate, and creative; I strive to make “PILATES” easy to follow, accessible, and free of any type of unnecessary frill. I aspire to use imagery as a way to channel physical sensations, and I one goal in mind - to make my clients, my fellow class takers, and my friends, feel better and stronger in their body, in their lives, and throughout their day.
I use uses breath as a way to tune in, calm the body, and unwind; classes moves slowly and, throughout the use of clear instructions, I will help the student achieve a clean, efficient, and strong form, one that will not be foreign to an individual but easily relatable in the contexts of everyday life.
