Mat Pilates (donation-based)

These classes are pay-what-you-can, whether it’s $1 or $20. I strongly believe health and fitness should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income, which is why I offer these donation-based classes to the community. I recommend paying whatever you think the class is worth, but please remember that hours of my time and work go into curating each amazing class experience.

Pilates is a mat-based exercise class that focuses on having really good spine and hip alignment to both prevent and reverse injury and chronic pain. We use abdominal, hip, and back exercises to lengthen, strengthen, and stabilize our “core” (i.e. anything in your torso). Pilates is often recommended by physical therapists as a fantastic way to alleviate low back, hip, or upper back/shoulder pain, and many physical therapy studios offer Pilates in-house to their physical therapy patients as a key part of their treatment.

Pilates is suitable for all people, regardless of age or physical condition. I’ve taught over 10,000 classes and I do an excellent job at giving modifications for all fitness levels. I’m confident you’ll find the exercises challenging yet comfortable.
