Maria Cecilia Salazar

Maria Cecie specializes in authentic traditional Pilates training, but is not limited to the traditional practice as she is a strong believer in adapting to the contemporary style in order to fully cater to every individual's needs. She began her journey in Pilates when she had to have her left knee reconstructed in 2015. As a dancer, Pilates was brought to her attention as an added practice for her rehabilitation, as well as a new method in her life to not only strengthen her dance technique, but to also strengthen her mind and overall wellness. Maria Cecie's passion for health and fitness is highlighted in the discipline Pilates has brought her, and is further explored in her outdoor activities, interval and weight training, nutrition studies, and her performing arts background. Maria Cecie attended a performing arts middle and high school in North Carolina where she focused on her dance training; she then attended Appalachian State University and received her degree in Film, Dance, and Spanish Language and Literature. Aside from Pilates and dance, Maria Cecie is a writer, model, and filmmaker. Her love for movement and health is her fuel, which is what she strives to spread with everyone she has the pleasure of working with.
