About Mara
Mara Raskin, a Romana's Pilates
Certified Instructor, is the principal
instructor at Vital Pilates.
In a day when "certifications" are given out after a weekend
seminar, Mara went through the complete certification program
in New York City and at the Pennsylvania Ballet, including a full apprenticeship with
Master Instructor
Romana Kryzanowska, who was trained
and certified by Joseph Pilates himself. Mara is a true second generation Pilates
instructor.
A complete description of Romana's training
program can be found here.
As part of her initial certification completed in 2003, Mara
underwent testing at 200 hours, 400 hours, and 600
hours. The final level was achieved only after written and
classroom instruction examinations were passed. These
examinations were overseen by Romana personally. It is her
thorough understanding of the Method and her practice with clients
that Mara generates the boundless enthusiasm she brings to each
class. Call her at 654-5951 to see for yourself.

Facilities
The Vital Pilates Studio is a rare place in the fluorescent world
of fitness. We often dim the lights, play relaxing, meditative
music, and work ourselves at a quiet but firm pace. The studio
benefits our programs by giving us in inviting, comfortable
environment that helps us focus on ourselves and the work we are
doing. Mirrors help us see how to better move our bodies, and
the home-like touches help everyone to relax.
Our studio is located at 62 Rockford Road in Wilmington, DE.
We're inside FIT! at the end of the hallway, last door on
the right.

Personal instruction can be the answer to
your fitness goals. "I work with people who are
interested in feeling better about themselves," says Mara
Raskin, CPI. "The gratification of someone walking out
of the studio feeling better than when they walked in,
standing taller, having less back pain, talking to their
friends about 'It's so great and I don't have that back pain
anymore...' -- is what it's all about for me."
