* Acknowledgements*
I first heard the name "Pilates" in late 1993; thank you Cathleen Murakami for introducing me to Joe and Clara's "Body Contrology". Without their work, I would still be rolling around in circles on my boards!
I am very grateful to Kyria Sabin and Deborah Mendoza of Body Works Studio in Tucson, AZ, for initiating me in 1994 to the Fletcher-Pilates work, mentoring me over the years, encouraging me both in my Pilates teacher practice and in the development of my CORE GALORE® method.
I am indebted as well to Ron Fletcher, pupil of the Pilates, for showing me how to teach "joyful movement" while maintaining structure and control, inspiring me to become a movement teacher, shedding the exercise instructor I once was.
I also wish to thank Diane Severino for reviewing the first draft of my CORE GALORE® manual, and giving me invaluable advice.
Last but not least, I am thankful to all my students for happily letting me "test" my new ideas on them, always excited about what else I have "made up" lately. Thank you for playing with me, and for allowing me to "feel" my movements through you. All of you have kept me inspired and "on my toes" throughout the years, helping me grow.
I draw so much energy from your encouragements, praises and requests; keep it up and I will too!

"Until now, this bracing work consisted of a few monotonous, static and tedious exercises - long “holding” times. I was immediately won over by CORE GALORE®; finally, a novel, fun and efficient way to tackle “active bracing”.
