PILATES AND SPORTS SCIENCE
SMART EXERCISES,
REAL RESULTS!
Patricia Leipnitz - Sport Scientist
ABOUT ME:
I was born in Brazil and grew up in this country where the body is exposed to heat, the sea and music. Brazil is a happy and relaxed country where aesthetics are very important. But for me there is no aesthetic without health. A well-shaped body with a bad posture does not express harmony, which I have learned in over 20 years of dance practice. Especially ballet and contemporary dance.
After studying sports science and completing training in bodybuilding, I consciously looked for a method that could offer everyone strength, flexibility and body intelligence. After taking a two year Pilates course from 2006 to 2007, I found that this is what I was looking for.
During these years I have helped people to feel freedom in their bodies. I train bodies that are vulnerable, those that are exceptional, and everyone in between; I teach people to endure and always reach for more. I teach a fitness method that celebrates our differences. And because of Pilates, I know that often we must regress in order to progress, and big changes happens through small acts over time. And that improving one person's wellbeing can positively impact the entire community.
This is me…
