My inspiration in Pilates is having autonomy over one’s physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. As an instructor, I utilize my role as a guide for you to reconnect with your body by helping you learn its neuromuscular dialect. We are born with all the body we need, and when we activate its deepest core, we can optimize the capacity in which we live in that body. I specialize in helping you improve your mobility, flexibility, stability and competence in movement. No matter where you’re starting from, my individualized approach ensures progression that you can apply outside of your session, and keeps you curious about what you’ll achieve in your next one.
