New to Pilates?
Congratulations, you have found the best workout for healing the mind and body! Like anything new, building a foundation is key to success. So, starting here is a great place to learn the key principles. After teaching for many years I have found, the trend for learning Pilates has transitioned.
We are so busy searching for the next “body makeover”, we don’t take the necessary time in the beginning stages to learn the moves correctly. In order to get a killer workout, we need to implement the basics. Once that is accomplished, the foundation we have built will allow us to grow and gain an unimaginable amount of strength. Ultimately you will start to feel amazing internally and look stunning externally. Check out the posts below to get you started with beginner exercises and form.

Whole Health
Ever heard the statement, you are what you eat? Or, you are who you spend the most time with? Well, sadly these statements are true and they affect your whole health. Poor diet, negative self-talk, and the need to be everything are robbing us of life. Check out how to create health here in this section.

Emotional stress and environmental stress are just as important to our health and in many cases its whats holding us back from losing the extra pounds or balancing our hormones.
I have seen first hand how these toxins can take over the body and invade. We are not invincible and taking small steps to better health will give you the quality of life you are looking for.
