ELKA

I first worked with Kiki 12 years ago after fracturing my L1 in a horse bucking incident. Kiki and the reformer healed me when physical therapy failed to help with my pain.

Since then I've taken pilates and yoga classes at Innerstellar to help with a number of injuries including shoulder impingement (shout out to Magdalena for the amazing sports massage therapy rec, too) and a fractured rib--again, from another horse bucking incident. I've found that pilates and yoga are a perfect way to complement the movements and strength building needed for optimal riding.

I also feel more centered and calm after class. Innerstellar has an amazing roster of teachers and I feel lucky to be able to practice here!
