Bela Resendes ~ Pilates for Teens

About this episode

Send us a Text Message.

For those of us who are adults and have only faint memories of what it was like to be in the world as a teenager, today I’d like to introduce you to Bela Resendes, a sophomore at Spanish River Community High School in Boca Raton. Florida. For the last 2 years, Bela has been studying the Pilates Method at her mom’s studio, Delfina Pilates. Last year, I had the pleasure to teach a Wunda chair duet lesson with Bela and her sister, Luna. What I found so refreshing was their pure focus and ability to remain quiet as they took in my detailed cueing. I asked Bela if she’d share with us why in the life of a busy teenager, she makes time for her Pilates practice.
