Welcome and Hello

“‘Breathing is the first act of life and the last. Our very life depends on it.’” - Joseph Pilates

Welcome to Pilates by Christine and hello! Thank you for checking out our website and thank you for your interest in Pilates. I would like to introduce myself and let you know a little bit about me. My name is Christine Knox and I am a Pilates Instructor. I originally come from the northern midwest in the Chicago area and grew up there and also in Oklahoma for my childhood. I moved back up north to Indiana for my college years and proceeded to stay there for about 10 more years. As a kid I was always very active, involved in sports and continued well into my years at college. Upon graduating I continued being active and made it my career. I became a personal trainer and aerobics instructor.

It wasn’t until the late 90s that I directed my interest in physical activity to Pilates and Yoga. I was injured in an auto accident and was referred by my physical therapist to try Pilates. I took a mat class at the health club I worked at and was instantly hooked. The results and benefits I received and felt was amazing. The core strength and body awareness was what sold me. I knew that this is what was going to keep me healthy and free from pain, so much so I wanted to get trained in this and teach it full time. Fast forward 3 years and I had become fully certified to teach Pilates and Yoga. Both have helped me to maintain the physical fitness my body needed. I am constantly learning about Pilates by going to workshops and courses that aid in my teaching and own personal well being.
