Big news! After 20 wonderful years in Oakland, I will be moving to Pittsburgh, PA. It has been a joy to work with so many wonderful people throughout the Bay Area, and I will miss this beautiful community!

I plan to continue to teach my mat classes via Zoom once I’ve had a chance to settle in a bit to my new home. If you’re interested in this future option, please subscribe to my mailing list.

I will be teaching my final classes through the end of October, and you may sign up for those below. I’m no longer selling 4-packs, but if you still have credits on your account, they will be honored automatically at registration. Single classes can still be purchased.

Please note there will be no class or Oct. 10th or at 6:45 on Oct. 31st.

  • This is the Alpha and Omega of the Pilates Method. The fundamentals begin here with the introduction of the basic concepts of improved breath, stability and core control, without the added complexity of the equipment. Yet, mat is also where the most advanced work lies. Without the support of the equipment, this is where a person gains incredible strength, mobility, mental focus, and a mastery of the skills needed to maintain great health. SOOO… whether you want to feel like a super-hero who can balance on one arm and defy gravity, or you just want to be able to stand on one leg and put on a sock without making that sound, mat is the place to be!

  • Pilates equipment is one of the things that makes this Method truly unique. The Reformer, Low Chair, and Tower use springs rather than weights, providing a challenge for muscles and joints that applies in multiple directions, helping to build strong, flexible bodies. The equipment also serves as support by holding limbs in the air, providing points of contact to reach into, and by aiding in the return from end range. With this much support, Pilates apparatus is the Patrick Swayze to your Jennifer Grey.
