Celebrating 25 YEARS IN MILL VALLEY
Carmen Zeni is a NCPT® National Certified Pilates Teacher and a CoreAlign instructor. She has been teaching Pilates since 1997. Carmen is also a massage therapist trained in western-eastern modalities, foot reflexology and has an extensive knowledge in anatomy and physiology.
Carmen's teaching objectives are to build up a strong core, establish good posture, promote efficient movement and educate on the inner workings of the body. She works with a wide variety of individuals of all ages - now ranging from 9 to 100 years old -, uses tactile cues to encourage good body alignment and sometimes hands-on massage to release overactive musculature. Nowadays, she focuses her practice on healthy ageing. In order to remain independent, cope with and adapt to transition and change, it is important to commit to a regular movement program. With her you will have tangible results. She has the skills and can be trusted. She will make it accessible and enjoyable!
Everyone enjoys the private, quiet and clean environment of her studio. The one-on-one training allows for optimal results in a calm setting away from the outside world.
Born in Switzerland, Carmen speaks English, French and some Spanish. In her spare time she enjoys reading, learning languages, nature, hiking and traveling. She keeps her interest and passion alive working with wonderful clients and students and continually educates herself and researches the field. She shares this endeavor with her husband Yves Lavenne, who is an Orthopedic Massage Therapist and has a practice next door.
