Mari Winsor @ DPC
Famous Pilates teacher Mari Winsor is widely credited with popularizing Pilates to the public at-large. We were excited to have Mari here for a couple of days to work with us and offer a special mat class.
Her visit was a great success—her mat class was a blast, and we raised over $1000 for the ALS Association (Mari has recently been diagnosed with ALS). She also taught our instructors lessons so they can keep honing their skills.
At the reception, Mari praised our instructors as having been very well trained. She also announced to everyone at the reception following mat class that Janice Dulak teaches "the closest thing to original Pilates of anyone in the States." That's high praise from Mari.
