I believe in the transformative power of Pilates and how this way of exercise has supported my body, mind, and spiritual being for the past 20 years of practicing.

Pilates keeps me feeling at my best when I practice several days a week.

Pilates, to me, is a lifestyle. It allows me to have an active lifestyle and enjoy the other things I love, such as biking, skating, skiing, swimming, camping, hiking, and gardening.

Pilates has taught me a skill set to interact positively with the world and avoid feeling overwhelmed. The practice of Pilates also balances my emotional state, teaching me how to be calm, patient, and available for others. From years of practicing, I know what I like and what is essential to feel well. I do call myself a minimalist and enjoy a simpler life.

As a second-generation teacher, it’s my privilege to pass along this form of exercise to others, as I learned from my teacher, Jay Grimes, a student of Joseph Pilates.

As a student of Pilates, I continue to study with world-renowned teachers.

I am thankful daily for my students who put their trust in exploring the work of Pilates. The work itself is what changes us for the better.

Keep moving!
