The advanced pilates class at the Art of Control Pilates Studio in Purchase.

Fitness enthusiasts of all experience levels—from personal trainers seeking continuing education to beginners who want to try a new technique without pressure—are invited to the Pilates Conference and Awaken Wellness Fair, to be held at Purchase College June 2-5. The event will feature workshops, workouts, performances, and an expo of local businesses devoted to opening the mind while strengthening the body.
Visitors can attend one or all days of the event, which begins with a pre-conference on June 2. Some of the best-known Pilates teachers and fitness experts in the country will be teaching at the conference, including Mari Winsor sharing her new Pilates techniques, and Jay Grimes, who worked with Joseph Pilates himself. The event concludes with the Awaken Wellness Fair from noon to 5 p.m. June 5. A body-mind-spirit expo that has been popular in Westchester for the past decade, the Awaken Wellness Fair offers interactive wellness activities, health screenings, products and services that promote a healthy lifestyle, and wellness providers demonstrating the latest in both technology and “rediscovered” ancient healing.
The Pilates Conference and Awaken Wellness Fair is a collaboration between Simona Cipriani, owner and director of Art of Control, and Paula Caracappa, promoter of Awaken Wellness Fairs. Art of Control, a private studio located at Purchase College, offers Pilates, massage therapy and Feldenkrais to both the community and Purchase students.
