The History Behind Stretch Your Life

Stretch Your Life is owned by Karen Toth, Pilates Certified 2000, Anat Baniel Method (sm) Practitioner 2007, Awareness Through Movement® teacher.

Always interested in new exercise routines, Karen took a workshop in Pilates in 1998. This led her to a full day workshop a few weeks later where she found teachers with whom she wanted to study.

From the beginning she was captivated by something Joseph Pilates said:

"if there is pain, there is no gain."

As Pilates began to transform her life, Karen decided to become an instructor. Since then, life has been an exciting mix of coaching and training.

The next logical step was to open her own Pilates studio. This dream was realized in April 2005. The studio now offers a range of Pilates Private, Semi-private and class sessions. The studio also offers Yoga classes, Anat Baniel Method Functional Synthesis (sm) sessions and Feldenkrais®classes.
