Marika Gruber
Marika Gruber is a Certified Peak Pilates instructor, having graduated from Peak Pilates, Boulder Colorado and describes her Pilates style as classical yet "open minded". In addition, Marika has conducted numerous workshops with Amy Alpers from the Pilates Center (called "the Boulder school").
As the owner of a beautiful Pilates studio located in La Colle sur Loup, France, Marika describes Pilates as "an intelligent way to stay fit and maintain well-being for the soul....The goal with Pilates is to re-educate your body for a permanent feeling of physical and psychological well-being. Mastered breathing is a key element and each movement should be performed with precision, in a coordinated manner, with ease and flow. Through concentration, the Pilates method aims to help you gain a total body and mind conscience." We are delighted to have Marika as part of the Cote d'Azur team. Born in Sweden, Marika is living her dream on the French Riviera.
