Description
One (1) private session including a postural assessment at Pilates to the People
Kendal Au is the founder of Pilates To The People (See her photo - she's a former Berkeley High Teacher!). Here's two reviews:
"Kendal has that rarest of gifts: she sees you--how you carry yourself and move through your own existence, and she shows you how to know yourself, as you are, from the inside. Most exercise instructors show you some movements, but Kendal shows you how to move in the way your body was meant to--from your own core of strength and point of balance. She is funny, compassionate and incredibly helpful. Within an hour she had me connecting with my own body in ways that months of yoga never did. She showed me how to work muscles I rarely used, and free up sections of my spine that had been so stiff for so long I thought that was their natural state. I was never once, as I usually am, hesitant or in doubt about my own capacity to accomplish what she asked of me--even though some of it was technically fairly difficult, because she inspires confidence.
"She is one of the best instructors in mind-body connection that I have ever had the pleasure of working with."
Kendal works with a diverse clientele, ranging from martial artists, athletes and yogis seeking a stronger core and improved physicality, to office workers who want to eliminate neck and back pain to new mothers seeking to heal diasitisis recti (the common separation of the "six pack" abdominal muscles during pregnancy.) Kendal has enjoyed swimming, gymnastics, running and martial arts. She is also a community muralist and activist.
