Nora Machione Weiss
Owner INSTRUCTOR
Nora Machione Weiss is the owner of Pilates of Kingston, New York. She is an advocate of the classical method. Formerly a corporate segment producer in New York City, Nora was introduced to Pilates in 1990. After suffering from a knee sprain while skiing it was suggested to help with rehabilitation. She was fortunate enough to be referred to Leah Chaback Katz who had just finished the program with Romana Kryzanowska along with Bob Liekens, Phoebe Higgins and Cary Regan. After studying for more than a decade Nora felt classical Pilates was becoming very blended. She decided to get certified in Pilates to maintain the integrity of the classical method. Of course she knew the person to study with was Bob Liekens.
Nora believes Pilates is a way of life. She continues to practice and study with many celebrated teachers. Most recently completing, by invitation, The Pilates Standard LEAP program in September 2018 with Bob Liekens.
She is still skiing!
