I currently teach contemporary Pilates mat and equipment classes in both group and private settings. My teaching of Pilates is grounded in my dance practice and my experience with various other somatic modalities that I interweave and co-mingle with Pilates. I approach Pilates as an awareness practice to facilitate mindful strength and release. My students know me for my sense of humor and endless curiosity. I do not view the body as a fixed, static thing. In fact it is the inevitable mystery, unknowability, and ability to transform that keeps me engaged.
