I believe Pilates is the basis, the best supplement, for all other forms of exercise. Pilates (pronounced pih-LAH-tees) is the work of Joseph Pilates. What we do is lengthen, tone, and work from the center of the body outward to create strength and flexibility. Additionally, Pilates has a way of showing us our weak areas. When we find them, we can work to correct them, creating a more supple, strong and lean body that supports the other things we love to do. Pilates can certainly be used as a stand alone practice and bring amazing fitness results, but I believe that the body wants all sorts of movement forms. My clients are runners, SUPers, swimmers, professional ball players, young and old and everything in between. My goal as the instructor is to create lessons that are challenging, individualized, safe and effective. What you feel and learn impacts your every move when you walk out the studio door. You look at your body differently and more intelligently. I want my clients to enter my studio space feeling safe, cared for, and ready to work and I want them to leave my studio space feeling empowered, strong, and ready for whatever is next in their day. Most of all, I want people to feel a sense of belonging when they’re in my space.
