Mahala Mahala Landin’s interest in Pilates began with her love of dance and movement. She studied all disciplines of dancing for 18 years. She has been a member of the Appalachian State University Dance Ensemble, ASU Dance Team, and the NCSU Dance Team as well as participating in private dance companies in the Triangle. In 2001 she attended the American Dance Festival at Duke University. This intensive program allowed her to take 3 hours of Pilates a day for six weeks. The exposure to two different teaching styles and methods gave her a broad sense of how Pilates could be tailored to any individual. The benefits of Pilates were not only obvious in her dance technique, but also in her everyday movement. She became certified in Mat Exercises through the Pilates Certification Center in the fall of 2001. She acquired most of her teaching experience through local Pilates Studios in Raleigh, and local Gym’s. Mahala helped create the first Group Fitness Pilates Program at NC State University teaching all ages, 18-70, and fitness levels, novice to advance. In 2005 she became certified through PCC in the Reformer. She enjoys any challenge a client can bring her. You can contact Mahala at 919-604-3862 (cell) or email at mbmcclur@hotmail.com Renee
