The gentle part's an act. The wild part's real.

A Pilates instructor who's in a freezing river by five a.m. To her students she's all slow breathing and quiet grace. Off the mat she's sharp-tongued, can't sit still, and can't stand being fed inspirational nonsense. That whole "slow down" thing? She drilled it into herself the hard way — because she is anything but slow.
