Beth Bliss I was a restaurant owner for 14 years, and had ended up with serious back injuries. Doctors recommended varying courses of action, from chiropractic treatment, exercises, surgeries, etc., but then i came across a life-changing book by Brooke Siler, “The Pilates Body.” I started to teach myself the first seven exercises in the book; I soon realized that I hadn’t hurt in an entire month! I began to do prep work to train with Romana Kryzanowska in Seattle, WA. I have been certified and teaching Classical Pilates full-time since 2004 and have worked with all varieties of clients, from athletes to those suffering with Parkinson’s Disease.
