I'm Antonette Cohen, an Actor, Dancer, and Pilates Enthusiast who has spent the majority of my 20's traveling and performing across the United States. While on the road, I discovered Pilates as the ideal way to keep my body strong, balanced, and injury free. Upon my return home to NYC in 2010, I began an intense and focused study of Pilates, received my Mat & Comprehensive Pilates Certifications through Core Pilates NYC, and started up my Private Pilates Training business in New York City. Shortly thereafter I found myself back on the road again, this time as a performer on the 1st National Tour of WICKED.
Invigorated by my recent Certification and love for teaching, I packed up my Pilates Manuals, a trunk-full of Props, The Complete Works of Joseph Pilates, and the Classical Pilates' Original Studio Collection DVD Series, and hit the road Pilates Pilgrim Style! I am now traveling the country, visiting and performing in a new city every month, and looking for new and exciting ways to continue my growth as a teacher and lifetime student of Pilates everywhere I go!
I started this blog as a place to collect and share my experiences as I journey across the United States, learning from and training with different Pilates teachers, visiting new studios, and discovering how to nourish my Pilates practice and teaching skills while away from home. Whether you are a teacher or student, looking for new ways to spice up your practice in the studio or at home, in need of a studio recommendation in your hometown or on vacation, or just a Pilates Pilgrim like me, collecting wisdom on your own journey, I hope this blog is a source of information, enjoyment, and inspiration!
Happy Trails!
