Synergy Of Body And Mind

Encinitas’ SynergySystems Fitness Studio, under the helm of director Cathleen Murakami, helps clients of all levels to achieve mind and body harmony through Pilates, Gyrotonic, and other disciplines. Murakami is internationally recognized, having produced numerous DVDs, authored Morning Pilates Workouts, and developed Pilates programs at Rancho La Puerta and The Golden Door, among others. “The greatest reward is knowing that I am guiding our clients on their own journey of health and well being,” notes Murakami. “It’s all about contributing back to the cycle of life, and I’m lucky that I enjoy what I do.” (760/632-5677, www.synergypilates.com)   MIA STEFANKO
