Our goal is to apply the principles of the Pilates Method to each students’ unique needs. One on One attention, even in a group.
Deni Bank, Director, was certified to teach Pilates by Romana Kryzanowska at Pilates, Inc. Over the years she has studied with many wonderful teachers including Bob Liekens, Leah Chaback-Katz, Kathy Grant, Kelly Kane and Shari Berkowitz. She has been teaching Pilates in Rhinebeck since 1996, and has been in this spacious, light filled studio since 2000.
Deni has been involved in movement and the study of the body. After graduating with a BFA in Modern Dance she danced professionally in New York City for 10 years. Throughout her life she has continued to learn about the human body and to hone her teaching skills by studying anatomy (most recently with the amazing Irene Dowd), kinesiology, Body-Mind Centering, Feldenkrais and yoga and Pilates continuing education courses.
Beth Graziano has been teaching and studying Pilates since she was certified by Romana Kryzanowska through The Pilates Guild in 1998. Not only has she studied extensively with Romana, but she has also studied with Bob Liekens, Leah Chaback-Katz, Alyssa Ungarro and Shari Berkowitz to name a few. Her love of Pilates grew after starting a family and having limited time to pursue her passion to dance. Pilates fulfilled that passion in an efficient and succinct manner. Despite its amazing efficiency, Pilates is a deep and fascinating full body exercise system which she is happy to continue learning and sharing for a long time to come.
