A little about us…
Lora Pavilack:
I love posture and how good it feels to move with ease. I was a professional dancer for years performing around the world and as a Radio City Rockette. With Nikki Alstedter, I co-own Pilates Studio City in Southern California and Pilates South Austin in Austin, Texas. I am a Master Teacher in Pilates through the Pilates Sports Center and certified in Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis, the Franklin Method, and Da Vinci BodyBoard, among other body-balancing disciplines. Besides playing with my daughter and surfing, I simply love to help people improve their posture, strength, and balance through movement so they can stand tall and enjoy life to the fullest.
Nikki Alstedter:
I am passionate about posture and I believe it is never too late to improve it! My posture journey began by discovering a mild scoliosis while performing as a professional dancer and aerial acrobat. This guided my path to years of study of movement and healing modalities. With a foundation as a Pilates Sports Center Master Trainer, Gyrotonic, Gyrokinesis and Franklin Method teacher, I've been helping clients rediscover their natural posture for more than two decades. I am the founder of Arlùnviji Transformative Movement studio in Santa Barbara, California, and I co-own, with Lora Pavilack, Pilates Studio City and Pilates South Austin. In this book, Lora and I share simple exercises that boost postural awareness to live pain-free throughout your day, at home, at work, and on the go! If you transform your posture, you'll transform your life!
