Creta Valiente, Instructor
I grew up as a competitive Synchronized Swimming athlete in my native Cuba where I also earned a BA in Physical Education. In the desire to continue developing my career, I completed The Pilates Teacher Training Certification at the Body of Work in San Francisco in 2010 under the direction of Jean Sullivan. I have also attended numerous workshops and form of training such as Muscle Activation Technique (MAT).
I continued to develop and grow my Pilates practice in San Francisco for the last 12 years. I have worked with clients of different ages and fitness levels.
I am a fan of the Pilates method for its incredible power to transform our bodies and minds. One of the most rewarding things in my practice is when I hear things like: “oh, I didn’t know I had this muscle.” This is the voice of the first steps towards progress.
In our sessions I will meet you where you are in your fitness level. I will adapt to your capabilities and needs, tailoring an exercise program that is unique to you.
I will teach you to become aware of yourself through movements. While gaining strength, flexibility and confidence in your ability to progress towards your goal.
