PRECISION
Classical Pilates is more than just exercise. It’s about sculpting your body through flow, quality, and precision of movement.
STRENGTH
Activating and maximizing your body is fundamental to Pilates. Pilates focuses on your “powerhouse,” the abdominal, back, buttocks, and thigh muscles.
BALANCE
Pilates exercises are dynamically and intentionally chosen to create a balance of intensity and relaxation, focused on body flexibility and endurance.
SESSIONS
Our 1-on-1 workout programs are personalized to help you achieve your body and wellness goals. We use the Pilate’s fundamentals, principles, and proper exercise techniques to bring about a deep and lasting change. If you have existing injuries or weaknesses, we will work through together to unlock your core potential.
(Unavailable due to Covid-19 Restrictions) Students can add or transition to Semi-Privates once they’ve learned the Pilates fundamentals, the order of exercises, and how to use our equipment safely.
These sessions are fun and energetic. It’s the perfect opportunity to take your customized workout into a motivating duet with you and another client where you still benefit from personalized instruction that challenges your core, strength and flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness.
(Unavailable due to Covid-19 Restrictions) These classes combine the tempo and fluidity of mat work followed by bars and springs for four students at a time.
ABOUT ME
I believe that each and every one of us can achieve our wellness goals by incorporating Pilates into our lives and that it can bring positive transformation to our bodies. My clients return again and again to keep improving their quality of life and ultimately be inspired by my uniquely motivating and restorative style.
I studied under world-renowned Pilates master teacher Dorothee Vandewalle, and my teaching emphasizes precision, energy, and awareness of your body.
I recognize that everyone is different, from the fitness novice or competitive athlete to the rehabilitative client. I see each of my clients as a partner, and my goal is to help you maintain quality of life through fitness. My methods are based on sound Pilates principles and developed with respect to each client’s current physical condition and level of fitness.
Pilates has become the confessed secret weapon of many competitive athletes. It is proven highly effective in restoring the natural curves of the spine and in rebalancing specific muscles surrounding joints. It is also designed to strengthen deep abdominals and supportive muscles of the lower back.
Runners, cyclists, triathletes, skiers, and football players are all doing Pilates to condition for their sport. What they’re learning as they progress in their practice is that Pilates also reconditions their bodies so they are not taken out of the game with an injury, and so that they can remain as active as possible.
For anyone who sits a lot at work, Pilates can stretch and strengthen the neck and shoulders, improving posture and body awareness while alleviating and preventing neck and shoulder strain.
With over 500 exercises performed on mats and spring-based equipment Pilates targets the body’s “powerhouse,” the stomach, back, and buttocks. A strong and stable core takes pressure off the more fragile limbs while improving breathing, balance, strength, flexibility, and alignment.
Classical Pilates is beneficial for men and women, young or old, whether you are athletic, sedentary, or in the process of physical therapy. The sessions are more than just an hour of exercise; they help change the way you feel about yourself.
