Julia fell in love with Pilates originally for it's ability to heal her own body through several injuries she developed as a result of being a performer for many years. She quickly noticed drastic changes in her own body awareness and strength, and an improvement in her imbalances.

Meet Tara
Report
I'm Tara, owner and founder of 212 Pilates and am stoked to open up and share the 212 Pilates community with you. I began casually practicing pilates in late 2005. As a Type-A Manhattanite, I spent (nay, wasted) most of my private sessions focused on my blackberry. Pilates was a small break in my week spent working too many hours behind a desk and even more hours in sky-high heels.
Holistic Services
Report
212 Pilates believes in individual attention and our reformer, ladder and hybrid classes have only 4 students per class allowing modifications, requests and the ability to flow with the students needs rather than pre-decided choreography. 212 Pilates classes are based in biomechanics and use a balance of traditional and classic pilates exercises mixed with new exercises and challenges.

Reiki
Report
Reiki, like other energy work modalities, doesn't necessarily heal the body, but rather, creates space for the body to use it's own intelligence to heal itself. Reiki can create space for healing physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wounds. As long as the client is ready to face the healing journey they must face as their natural karmic path.
Press
Report
To prepare for the ceremonies, I worked closely with Tara Gordon, the founder of 212 Pilatesin New York City, who helped me identify areas of my body where I was carrying stress, muscle groups I wanted to strengthen, and areas that were strained due to improper technique. We worked out in swimming pools, on the beach, on rocks with bottles of Rose.
