Lisa Marie has been an active athlete from middle school, through college, running at Western State College, NCAA National Champions cross country team in 2001, and track team in 2000 - 2002, and also on Oregon State Crew team in 1998.
After years of competing in school she got more involved in outdoor activities, whitewater kayaking, trail running and mountain biking. She realized years of constant training, impact on joints, and build up of injuries that her body was becoming unbalanced and creating sore muscles. After a major ski injury in 2001 she looked for other activities that would find balance in her body. She finally discovered Pilates at The Pilates Studio in Salida and was so impressed in how it promoted so much awareness about her body that she incorporated Pilates into her life. She takes the foundations of Pilates breathing, and incorporating the core into every movement, exercies she performs and teaches.
Lisa Marie is a certified ACE personal trainer, certified ACA kayak instructor, and certified Pilates instructor from The PhysicalMind Institute. Lisa has completed her Recreation major and Kinesiology minor at Western State College in 2001. She moved back from Oregon in 2006 so she could be part of The Pilates Studio in Salida and enjoy the whitewater in Colorado with her husband Dave.
