ClASSICAL PILATES

 Before it became my profession, Pilates was my awakening.
It was the first movement practice I ever truly fell in love with — the first time I felt what it means to be at home in my own body.

Through those early sessions, I began to sense life moving through me again — not as exercise, but as awareness.
Every stretch, every controlled breath, every trembling moment of effort reminded me that strength doesn’t always roar. Sometimes, it whispers through precision, presence, and patience.

 The Pilates Method was created by Joseph Pilates, a German visionary who transformed his own fragile health into lifelong vitality.
Unhealthy as a child, he studied both Eastern and Western practices — from martial arts and yoga to anatomy and gymnastics — believing that true fitness was a union of body, mind, and spirit.

The term “Classical Pilates” refers to the original sequence of exercises Joseph developed — practiced both on the mat and on specialized apparatus he designed himself.
Each piece of equipment, each transition, each inhale and exhale works toward a single purpose:
to strengthen the core, elongate the spine, balance the body, and awaken the mind through movement.

 Pilates was where my relationship with movement truly began.
(It taught me how to listen to my body — not as something to be corrected, but as something to be understood.) 

It taught me discipline. It was the first method that showed me how deeply we can transform the physical body — not just in how it looks, but in how it supports us, how we carry ourselves through life. It helped me become aware of my movement, physical sensation, instead of moving without noticing.

Through years of practice, I discovered endurance, vitality, and a kind of quiet confidence that grew far beyond the studio.
It was my first transformation — physical and emotional. 

I became certified in the Classical Pilates Method through Romana’s Pilates and have been teaching this lineage since 2005.
To this day, it continues to evolve with me — a living practice that mirrors life itself: structure meeting softness, discipline meeting grace.

In my sessions, we don’t just “do” Pilates — we explore how movement can heal.
Every exercise is tailored to how you feel that day.
Some days it’s strength and stability; other days, it’s softness and restoration.

My approach is deeply hands-on, precise, and intuitive — grounded in the Classical Method but guided by awareness of breath, posture, and energy.
I teach virtual sessions  with students all over the world. 

I primarily offer virtual classical Pilates mat sessions, bringing the core principles of the practice right to you, wherever you are. To enhance these sessions, I creatively adapt traditional Pilates equipment exercises for the mat, maintaining precision, control, and flow. We utilize a variety of easily accessible and affordable props—such as straps, resistance bands, balls, blocks, balance pads, and boards—items you can purchase or often find at a local gym.

Many of my long-term studio clients have successfully transitioned to online training, finding that working solely with body resistance, without the aid of springs, offers a uniquely challenging and highly rewarding experience. 

Whether you come to strengthen your body, rebuild after injury, or reconnect with yourself, this work meets you where you are.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about remembering your own intelligence through movement.

 In Classical Pilates, you’ll learn to:
• Rebuild strength from your core outward
• Move with balance, control, and ease
• Improve posture and flexibility
• Develop body awareness that carries into daily life
• Find calm focus through mindful breathing

And maybe, as I did, you’ll rediscover not just your body — but your capacity to feel alive in it.
