The method


The method


Pilates is a collection of exercises designed to transform the body. Long, lean, toned muscle is created while increasing flexibility, improving posture, building strength and correcting alignment. It's functional training. It's strength training. It's mindful, intelligent exercise focused on precision, control, concentration, centering, breath, and flow. Joseph Pilates created this system to "bring bodies back to health" and he focused heavily on deepening the connection between mind and body. 

All ages, all shapes, all fitness levels can reap the benefits of a Pilates practice. The method is safe and challenging. It's always a good time. While based on the original classical exercises, every class is unique and varied.

I have always loved to be active. Sports were a big part of my life growing up. I came across Pilates as an adult and I'm so thankful I did. The classical method, the original set of exercises created by Joseph Pilates himself, has made a profound impact on my life. It's not simply about getting a workout in each day. It's about achieving and preserving health in all forms; physical, mental and emotional. This mind-body connection thing is real. As this is a life-long practice, I know my own journey has only begun. One of my greatest pleasures is sharing the knowledge I've gained with my students and being a part of their Pilates journey.

 I completed my 500 hour Comprehensive Classical Pilates training through Chakra Pilates, whose training program is accredited through the Pilates Method Alliance. I am lucky enough to have trained under, and continue to be mentored by, some of the best in the business. My style is classic with an appreciation for creativity and contemporary variations.
