My name is Lissa Silk and I'm an Exercise Science and Theater and Dance Major at the University of New Hampshire (Class of 2012). I'm a local professional ballerina with Northeastern Ballet Theatre and Great Bay Academy of Dance, and still train with the Boston Ballet. I'm also the youngest comprehensively certified Peak Pilates trainer to date.

Last Peak Pilates Training
I spent my last two days of Peak Pilates training on August 23rd, and 24th in Newburyport, MA at Progressive Bodyworks. Teachers from England, Austrailia, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and Hungary flew in for the advanced workshops. After three years of trainings I will soon take my over-all comprehensive Peak Pilates exam to earn my Comprehensive certificate. I will be the youngest Peak trainer in the world with this title. Pictured is me trapped in the Ped-o-pull with Master trainer Clare Dunphy, demonstrating some ballet moves on the Pilates Jumpboard apparatus, and with the two other U.S. trainers at the workshop, Carolyn and Meredith.
