History
In 2000, Christy Salmon began teaching Pilates barre, Pilates mat, and standing Pilates in Oakbrook, Illinois. After being certified as a Pilates instructor by Physical Mind, and Body in Balance, she wanted to combine her knowledge of dance, and training at the barre, with the principals and methods of Pilates. Breathing was always known as her mantra to all of her students. So much so, that she named the collection of her classes Just Breathe Pilates. As the years went by, she continued to teach and raise a family in Chicago until fate moved her and her family back to St. Louis in 2007.
In 2009, Christy decided to open classes in Kirkwood and Webster Groves. In order to maintain brand identity in a new market, St. Louis Pilates Fusion became the brand and Just Breathe Pilates the essence of the brand. Classes were offered at the Dance Center of Kirkwood and at the Big Bend Yoga Center. In 2011, Christy received another certification as a nationally recognized STOTT Pilates Trainer/Instructor.
Just Breathe Pilates continues to grow. The classes are representative of her enthusiasm (and her student’s hard work and dedication) as well as her knowledge of Pilates, dance, and yoga. Committed to her role to help, assist, and motivate her clients, Christy teaches her clients how to get fit in their workouts through corrective coaching and encouragement.
