Beth Holod
Pilates Instructor
My goal is to help lead others to the far-reaching benefits of core stability, especially in our Pilates Reformer studio. I enrolled in my first yoga class here at the YWCA St. Paul Health & Fitness Center nearly 20 years ago. Now as an instructor, I want to help people reclaim their love for their bodies with a new self-awareness, and increase their confidence and enthusiasm for an active lifestyle.
