Lou Cornacchia started her dance and teaching career in the early 1970s in Los Angeles, CA. She studied Theater and Dance at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1983, she relocated to New York where she continues to teach and educate people on the importance of Pilates and good health. After a long career as dance manager and teacher at Eastern Athletic Clubs, she opened her Pilates studio, Body in Balance, in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. Her creative, energetic and caring approach to teaching Pilates has made her one of the best in her field and earned her a huge following throughout Brooklyn.
Lou is certified by the Physical Mind Institute through Kelly Kane, of Kane School of Core Integration. Deborah Lessen of the Green Street Studio in Soho NYC, with whom she continues to study, has lent considerably to her growth and knowledge, helping her become the highly effective Pilates teacher she is today.
