Workout with me for a strong core and a body that feels good to live in.

I started pilates back in 2003 in my own search for more strength and less pain. I fell in love with Pilates instantly for its ability to transform my body and what it’s capable of doing. Through the course of my experience as a Pilates instructor, now with over 20,000 hours of hands-on instruction and over two decades of practical experience and education, I’ve developed a method that combines the traditional Pilates principles with the latest in exercise science to make Pilates safer, more applicable and more effective to anyone looking to move well and feel strong and flexible now and later, regardless of movement experience, limitations or starting fitness level.

  • Essentials

    Learn and practice breathing, deep core activation and other essential exercises that will help you feel more open, centered, balanced and connected to your body. These sessions can be taken as a daily maintenance routine or be combined with other videos as essential prep and deep core warm up work.

  • Slow & Controlled Pilates

    These sessions are hard on your muscles but so kind on your joints. We set up the body for success in each movement and focus on technique for proper joint mobility and targeted muscular activation to leave you feeling long and strong.

  • Regeneration

    These sessions are a great way to give your body some love post workout or to add some movement on days you need to take it easy.

  • Cardio Fusion Pilates

    Move, sweat, lengthen and tone every inch of your body with flows that transition from one movement to the other. These sessions will leave you feeling long, toned and invigorated. We focus on alignment, breath and deep core activation always!

Practice anytime, anywhere

I used to think that working out required an ideal time, place and setting. That worked really well in my 20s when I didn't have kids, work wasn’t really a priority and 7-8 hours of sleep felt optional. It took me a while to figure out how to workout consistently, eat well and get enough sleep while doing life without burning out or giving up. Once I broke away from waiting for that ideal moment and place I understood that any time is a good time, that all I really need is my body and that even 10 minutes count. As an originally non believer in at home workouts, I’m a complete convert. Being able to workout from home on my own time gave me the freedom to prioritize movement as self care and feel great in my body.
