Reduction Raider breaks bread with Elaine Entenza, Pilates Brevard.

Alright Raiders

Elaine Entenza is a major lover of life, and avid movement aficionado. Following her passions from an early age, she began her fitness career back in 1999, and explored almost every movement modality before finding her heart in the Pilates Method. She became a certified teacher in 2004, and has focused her teaching energies here ever since. Her career has allowed her to travel and teach across the globe, including fun places like NYC and London (where she met your marvelous podcast host), but has now rooted down in the WNC mountains with her talented chef-husband and fantastically animated kiddos. With COVID shifting the workout world, she has moved her teaching business online, but is all the better for it; as now, she is able to teach committed students from all corners of the world together via Zoom. Aside from Pilates, Ayurvedic studies and practices have greatly influenced her personal health journey, and she believes the greatest thing you can do for your welfare is listen and honor your body’s ever-changing needs. And she is not quiet about this belief! Chances are, if you attend one of her classes, you will no doubt receive her most favorite advice: “Listen to your body more than me, please.” 😊 When Elaine is not busy playing with her young kiddos or teaching Pilates, you can find her writing, hiking, eating, or – and most importantly – attempting to sneak in rare sans-kiddo moments with her brilliant-but-also-busy husband, Adam. And for the record, she hates writing personal profiles, but loves to shoot the breeze with good friends. So, be sure to listen to this episode to discover how she is reducing food waste, taking sustainable steps, her real deal via candid dialogue, with one of her most cherished and greatest best friends.
