Gail Giovanniello, Owner NCPT
Gail is a third-generation teacher of the Pilates method, receiving wisdom handed down carefully and specifically from past masters to present masters, thus keeping the method's continuity and exactness intact. She trained for over twenty years with Deborah Lessen, a teaching disciple of another Joseph Pilates direct-line student, Carola Trier. Gail also studied with Kelly Kane, founder of The Kane School and Kinected, who incorporated anatomical knowledge to improve strength and stability. Gail continues the method's physical fitness principles set forth by Joseph Pilates in the 1950′s. Missing the opportunity to meet with Kathy Stanford Grant, Gail received her Heritage Training Certificate from Cara Reeser; a disciple of Kathy Stanford Grant, who studied directly with Joseph Pilates. Today, Gail is a teacher trainer for Deborah Lessen Pilates and is proud to keep the work current in her own teacher training programs.
In her studio and her teachings, Gail promotes focus and attention to detail along with an in-depth comprehension of anatomy for movement. Her extensive background, as well as on-going Pilates continued education, allows her to assist people with a broad range of physical concerns: post-injury rehabilitation, sports conditioning and prenatal exercise, as well as posture and overall muscle toning.
Gail is nationally certified by the National Certification Program and is also the Director of Mind Your Body Pilates Teacher Training, which offers comprehensive Pilates educational training in Pre-Pilates and on all Pilates apparatus. Gail also holds a Level II in the GYROTONIC® Expansions system and Jump Stretch Board. She complements her fitness training with studies in massage and Thai Body Yoga and has completed two full body anatomy series with Gil Hedley.
Gail offers profound and overall attention, interest, and concern for all her clients, and gives tireless care to the upkeep of her two studio locations. As a result, Mind Your Body was recently awarded Mind Body's (National Scheduling platform) Visionary Award for 2018 demonstrating outstanding studio growth.

Deborah Lessen Pilates

"I trained with many people in NYC, but when I met Deborah Lessen in the 1990’s, I knew she was the one who would teach me the Pilates method as a life-long process to enable me to be the best instructor, and to continue Pilates in a way that I move, and feel amazing for the rest of my life! Today, I am proud to be able to pass her torch and teach all that I learned from her." - Gail
Gail demonstrates for Deborah Lessen frequently both in studio and virtually at workshops and trainings hosted by Deborah. Gail was recently in Seoul, Korea at ArtPilates, LLC, as an ambassador for Deborah Lessen Pilates. To learn more, click here! |
