Best of Boston

Sometimes you just need a friend to listen and ask the right questions (sorry, Mom). Hanneke Antonelli, a Wall Street employee turned Pilates instructor and life coach, works with clients by asking powerful questions that highlight certain behaviors—without inserting her opinion—in order to break through mental blocks. She also believes in giving back, which is why she co-created the “Pilates with Purpose” series: All proceeds from the monthly class, held at various locations in the city, go to a local charity.
