Pilates

I have been teaching Pilates since 2010. My teaching emerges from a place of curiosity about the human body and a desire to see people live more embodied and expressive lives.

As a Pilates teacher, I bring attention to detail and a desire to relay specific anatomical information with simplicity and purpose. I am a certified STOTT Pilates instructor, and I have augmented this approach with various somatic practices as well as the study of specific pathologies and conditions.

Conditions and Pathologies I specialize in:

  • acute injury and chronic pain rehabilitation

  • neck pain, headaches and migraines caused by tension

  • pre/post-natal pilates & diastasis recti and pelvic floor rehabilitation

  • back pain & disc pathologies

  • osteopenia & osteoporosis

  • hypermobility and EDS

  • strength training & cross training for dancers, cyclists, runners, and other movers

This is a 55-minute class that utilizes the Pilates Reformer Equipment. We will work with the proprioceptive feedback and resistance the reformer provides to gain strength, mobility and balance in various types of motion.

Check out My Library of pre-recorded virtual classes here

I offer one free class for beginners, and a monthly subscription for the entire class library is $25/month. Classes range from 20 minutes to one hour, and many require no equipment.

One-on-One Sessions in person and online
In these sessions we will cultivate ways to attend to your body through movement and self-massage. These sessions are ideal for someone currently dealing with specific challenges that may not be addressed in a group class setting. This includes injury recovery, management of chronic conditions, pre and post natal support, and those with specific training goals.
