Private, lineage-based Pilates.

Strengthen. Lengthen. Move well for life.

Every session is a one-on-one work in built around your body, your history, and your goals, guided every step.

What to expect

Your first session begins with a postural and movement assessment. From there, every session progresses in order, like steppingstones: control and foundation first, then strength on top. You’ll always know why. We use the reformer and the full repertoire of apparatuses, always matched to your level and needs.

How I teach

I teach the method as a progression, not a performance, honoring the lineage-based work, understanding the reasoning behind every exercise, and meeting your body exactly where it is. You won’t find spectacle here. You’ll find precise, intelligent movement that builds real capacity over time. This is the work in: attention, control, and intention, session after session.

Ideal if you are…

•    Recovering from injury or surgery, or coming out of PT

•    Living with back pain, joint issues, or chronic tension

•    New and want to learn the method correctly

•    Pregnant or postpartum and want careful, individual attention

•    Experienced and ready to advance with real coaching

“I’ve never done Pilates — or I’ve been hurt before.”

That’s exactly who private sessions are designed for. Because it’s just the two of us, we can work carefully around any limitation, build a foundation at the right pace. You don’t need to be fit, flexible, or experienced to start. You just need to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Germany, he studied bodybuilding, boxing, and gymnastics, and he became a skilled skier and diver. At the age of 14, he was fit enough to model for anatomical charts. During World War I, Pilates created a rehabilitation program for bedridden soldiers. It was then that he began developing the exercises he called “Contrology.” After World War I, Pilates immigrated to the United States. In 1929, he and his wife, Clara, opened the first “Contrology” studio in New York City and established a following in the dance and performing arts communities. Pilates continued to teach students until the late 1960′s.
