Our Teachers Winston Carney Owner of Winston Pilates, fitness specialist, Winston Carney launched her career over a decade ago when she began studying and teaching Pilates under the expert tutelage of master teachers, Lisa Silveira and Elizabeth Fowler. Deeply anchored in Pilates' history, both were students of Romana Kyryzanowska, the pre-eminent heir to the classical tradition of Joseph Pilates. Living by the maxim "concentration, focus, practice and patience," Carney synthesized her unquestionable experience, expertise and unique client orientated approach into an innovative stretch heavy, stress free movement she created called POWER RELAXATION. Self Magazine proclaimed Carney as the perfect 'workout must have' in the increasingly competitive Los Angeles market place. Libby Bideau With a Bachelor's degree in dance, Libby brings her movement experience to pilates by infusing her classes with various forms of movement including balance work, core fusion, dance, Thai massage and yoga. By combining Thai Yoga-inspired stretch techniques with physical therapy, she also incorporates her work in rehabilitation environments. She has an ability to pull together information from her classic training, put it in simple terms, and keep an element of fun and discovery in the work. She strives to give people modifications, if necessary, and urges them to do the best they can today while allowing a little room for laughter in her classes.
