Yes, Pilates can Help Your Knees! - A Special Class with Leyna Noel

The second most common cause of chronic pain is knee pain. The knee joint is the largest and one of the most complex joints in the body. It is also one of the most commonly injured joints. 

Pilates is not physical therapy, but it is a brilliantly supportive and therapeutic system, and with diligent and regular practice can totally change your life with your knees. In this class Leyna Noel* will show us how to use Pilates to maintain the health of the knee, painlessly addressing movement patterns that can contribute over time to wear and tear in the knee joint. The focus on proper alignment will both soothe the knee and strengthen all the muscles of the leg to support the knee joint. 

Dress comfortably and bring a pair of socks with you! Please also bring a small hand towel and a Pilates or yoga mat if you have one.

*INSTRUCTOR: Before moving to Valencia from New York, Leyna Noel completed a rigorous, two-year apprenticeship under Pilates Grandmaster Instructor Trainer Sari Mejia Santo, an acclaimed instructor of classical Pilates, who learned from Joseph Pilates himself. Leyna had her own Pilates studio, Flesh +

Bone, in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn from 2007-2018. She is also certified in Kundalini Yoga and meditation and completed intensive studies in dance at the Butoh Institute of New York.  When she discovered Pilates, Leyna found it to be as moving and life changing to her as her first love (music) and has made it her life’s mission to guide people to their optimum health through Pilates. She is fluent in both English and Spanish and conducts classes in both languages.
