Pilates
Pilates is a whole-body exercise method, governed by six principles—concentration, control, centering, flowing motion, precision, and breath. With consistent practice, it develops strength, flexibility, control, and endurance.
Actively engaging body and mind, Pilates emphasizes optimal breathing, alignment, coordination, and balance, all with a particular focus on building a strong “powerhouse” — the center or “core” of the body that provides a stable foundation for all movement.
“Pilates develops the body uniformly, corrects wrong postures, restores physical vitality, invigorates the mind, and elevates the spirit.”
—Joseph Pilates
Restore Your Core
Pilates is used for general conditioning, athletic training or rehabilitation. Among its many proven benefits are improved concentration, core strength and stability, spinal flexibility, and balance, as well as increased energy and well-being. The exercises may be practiced on a mat or on specialized apparatus and are highly adaptable for all ages, fitness levels, and physical conditions.

Pilates Teacher Coaching
I have been practicing and teaching Pilates for more than thirty years. You can learn more about my mentors and training here. In addition to teaching Pilates one:one, I also offer individual coaching for Certified Pilates Instructors.
Many teachers, no matter how well trained, can have teaching blocks and become frustrated with being unable to do as much for their clients as they would like.
My Pilates Teacher Coaching helps remove these barriers to success, opening new opportunities for client and personal achievement and satisfaction.
