Mindful Motion Pilates Yoga Personal Fitness

A friend of my sister's hires the owner of this gym to teach yoga at her home once a week. I attended one of these sessions recently and found myself loving it. I'd never done yoga before but she teaches in such a way that it is easy to pick up and feel at ease. I'm very impressed that she is able to run a complete pilates and yoga gym while also making housecalls and teaching private lessons.

After much research, I decided to begin Pilates training with Tamara Murphy, the owner of Mindful Motion in Lakewood, Ohio. Tamara is highly trained in the Stott Pilates discipline.

The studio is equipped with the latest Stott Pilates equipment. Members can select from private, semi-private and group training. Tamara will also travel "on-sight" to your home or gym.

After a thorough first consultation, Tamara helps you decide on a fitness program to help you achieve your goals.

Personally, I had spent years in agony with lower back pain. Tamara developed a program for me to help me strengthen my back. After only a few sessions, I had noticeable relief from the back pain I had been experiencing.

PROS: Individualized training, new equipment, quiet environment, affordable
CONS: parking can sometimes be difficult
