Vicci

I believe that the recipe for a happy life is to keep active through healthy movement, eat well, and to have a strong emotional support network. I’m Vicci Lefort, a recently retired healthcare professional, mother, grandmother and fitness lover. I have always been active and have trained in a variety of sports.  I started as a gymnast and cheerleader, moved to running and cycling and on to weightlifting. I have practiced a variety of yoga styles. I landed in Pilates about five years ago. The personal benefits that I experienced with Pilates inspired me to complete the Stott® Reformer and Mat teaching courses. I have a science degree and have worked in research for most of my professional career, including a stint at Kennedy Space Centerworking with a muscle physiologist studying how space travelaffects the human body. 

I love understanding the chemistry and biomechanics of how the body functions and how we can optimize our health through exercise and nutrition. I think that it is imperative that exercise is done correctly matching each body style to ensure optimization of the benefits and to not exacerbate any functional misalignments. My goal as a Pilates teacher is to share my passion, experience and knowledge aiding my clients to achieve their personal goals resulting in a happy, healthy and productive life.
