Margaret DiMeo was initially drawn to Pilates as a student with painful sciatica. After practicing the Pilates method for a short time, her symptoms began to abate. She earned her teacher certification in 2001 through the Pilates Studio in New York, under the tutelage of Romana Kryzanowska. Margaret has also had the good fortune of being trained by Michael Fritzke and Ton Voogt, as an apprentice at the Pilates Studio and after completion of her certification as well. Over the years, she has been quite fortunate to have attended continuing education with some of the Pilates elders and many master teachers. As an instructor, it is Margaret's hope to share all the remarkable benefits that can be obtained by practicing the Pilates method. Margaret is a Certified SpringTone® instructor.
