All Pilates is not the same. One can learn the exercises and go through a workout but without an expert teacher it’s just a workout. The thing that makes the transformation is how you do the exercises.
I take care to listen to every person I work with and choose the exercises that will suit your body’s needs and your personal goals. I watch your movements closely and make adjustments to form and movement mechanics so you get the most out of every exercise. This adaptive approach allows you to get the specific Pilates that works best for you. Not all bodies are the same so no two people need the same set of exercises.
I always start working with you where you are and progress safely as you’re ready to. Workouts are challenging but never cross the line into too much for you to handle. Sometimes a vigorous session is best, other times a more gentle and restorative focus is best. Together we will find what works best for you and with consistent practice you’ll develop strength, flexibility and more functional movement that will help you feel better now and give your body longevity to carry you into aging.
Pilates is too often shown as a fitness method for young already fit people. Nothing could be further from the truth! I’m here to help you begin your Pilates practice from where you are now and help you reach your goals with appropriately challenging exercises that are best for your body. I’ll help you learn how to move in ways that have been neglected but with practice will be restored. Gaining balanced functional movement will transform your body, mind and life.
If you’ve been intimidated by Pilates please consider giving it a try. My approach makes Pilates fit you, not the other way around.
