My goal as a teacher is to clearly define Pilates as a physical and mental skill. The building blocks of any effective physical training must include foundational guidelines that are essential to creating a reliable framework for ultimate health and physical fitness.  

The Pilates method, when taught as an organized system, gives us the ability to consciously control our alignment and organize our muscle balance to create the optimum environment for health and elite performance. Because I have applied these guidelines to my own training for many years I can attest to their validity. I have also seen the results in others when applied consistently. My clients come from a wide spectrum of individuals, from professional athletes and dancers to health oriented people of all ages and interests, each unique in their needs, habits and patterns of movement. Instead of teaching Pilates as a ‘workout’ I teach it as a ‘system’ that is organized, layered and consistent over time. I have witnessed many of my students who apply the Pilates principles to their practice on the mat and equipment quickly begin to see and feel the changes that occur in their bodies and minds. These foundational principles allow us to control the effects of the external forces that act on our bodies, ultimately enabling improved overall physical performance. When we become the masters of our own unique physical capabilities, we live better and more fulfilled lives.
