Our event begins at 11am, Our meeting this week will be held at the 1st floor Auditorium of the Koffler House (569 Spadina Ave).
What is Pilates and why you don’t know what you think you know! Our featured speaker, Emma Kate Millar, wants to open a dialogue and get talking about your health and fitness by addressing questions and attitudes and busting myths such as: Who is Pilates for? Why does it matter? How can I tell if this is a fad or a legitimate method? How does Pilates compare with Yoga? I do my own workout thanks! I’m not flexible enough for Pilates. I’m too old for Pilates. And much, much more!
Emma Kate is passionate about hearing from others and learning about their fitness journeys and what motivates people (or doesn’t) to get up and get moving.
Emma Kate Millar has a B.F.A in Dance Science from York University and specializes in Pilates for post rehab and special populations. Prior to that, Emma Kate was a professional Modern Dancer with a background in competitive Irish Dancing. In 2003, however, she sustained a serious back injury, which threatened to take away her abilities as a dancer and physically limit her life through pain. After experiencing the benefits of Pilates, she attained certification under STOTT Pilates and then the Pilates Method Alliance. Since then, she has had the opportunity to work in some of the best studios in Toronto and to teach alongside Top Master Trainers. All of these experiences have prepared her well to create Body Mason: a culmination of many years of knowledge and hands-on experience of helping bring awareness to the body—its movement, its strength and its resilience.
