Both Amy Garner and John McCarthy, the married owners of Pilates Haven, are gifted teachers. I've done Pilates for many years but have benefited from two years of their teaching far more than with the previous ten years of work combined.

Amy and John are, quite simply, the best! They will challenge you, cheer you on, and best of all, change your body! I've been taking mat classes and private lessons with both John and Amy for a little more than 2 years now. When I started, I thought Pilates was like yoga, but with an emphasis on ab work--a popular misconception these classically, Romana-trained teachers will disabuse you of in the first fun and difficult session!
