Pilates History

I have been enthralled with movement as long as I can remember and have danced since I was very young, starting with creative movement as a babe and tagged along to every one of my mom’s aerobics classes through the ‘80s. I vividly remember and still sweat her purple, puffy-sleeved leotard. Dance and various movement play set up an ever-growing curiosity around what our bodies are capable of doing and feeling. No matter whether I’m biking, running, swimming, dancing, or strolling, I am intrigued with the idea of embodiment and building awareness in my day to day. 

Since moving to NYC in 2002 and getting pilates certified through Polestar Pilates LLC, I have been teaching private and group mat and machine instruction, both in studios, physical therapy centers and in-homes. My teaching has been supplemented and continually informed by these additional kinesthetic practices: yoga, Anatomy Trains Structural Integration, contemporary dance, Katy Bowman’s Nutritious Movement, Mary Bond’s work and The Franklin Method.  

My interests lie around providing guidance towards more physiological awareness. Through breath, grounding, and pilates foundations we can transform our restrictive and possibly painful habits into a freer and better aligned moving body. I place an emphasis on fluidity and feeling the body as a whole in which its constituent parts work to contribute to that whole. It is very important to me that each client gains a feeling of agency in their bodies and translates their hour sessions into the functional world. We will work together to create a bridge between the pilates studio and their every day because that is where the significant growth and change takes place. 

I have worked with clients challenged by scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, spinal disc herniations, spinal stenosis, POTS, hip and knee replacements, among other conditions and worked with prenatal and postpartum clients. I continue to broaden my understanding of the body in motion through various continuing education workshops at Kinected, Steele Pilates, The Pilates Garage, The Franklin Method and Anatomy Trains Structural Integration.
