Lana Douglas
STOTT PILATES Mat Instructor
|
Lana has always been an avid fitness enthusiast. After several years of physically demanding careers and activities (long distance running, weight training, kayaking, and golfing), Lana found herself with some debilitating back issues in 2019.
After being diagnosed with herniated and bulging discs in her lumbar spine, Lana commenced decompression and physio therapies, both of which were effective and informative. It was then that Lana learned that the Pilates repertoire offered some immensely helpful exercises for her condition. Lana took her first Pilates class just over a year ago and was so impressed by the rehabilitative effects of it, that she quickly decided to pursue becoming a Certified STOTT PILATES Instructor. Lana recently completed the Intensive Mat-Plus Certification Program hosted by Living Well Movement Centre, she looks forward to completing Intensive Reformer in 2021. Lana wholeheartedly believes in the numerous benefits of a regular Pilates practice and is thrilled to be a part of the Living Well Team! |
