About

 

Less control. More intelligence. Better movement.

I didn’t set out to re-work Pilates.

I spent decades inside it — teaching, refining, owning studios, working with thousands of bodies in real time. I learned the method deeply, respected its lineage, and saw firsthand how precision and structure can create profound change.

And over time, I also saw the limits.

When structure stops serving the body

After tens of thousands of sessions, a pattern emerged.

Instructors were burning out. Clients were plateauing. Bodies were being corrected instead of listened to. The work became about managing movement rather than transforming through it.

I wasn’t interested in abandoning Pilates — I was interested in listening more closely.

That question led me beyond rigid frameworks and toward how living systems actually organize themselves: through adaptability, responsiveness, and intelligent tension — not force.

A shift in environment. A shift in perception.

At a certain point, I stepped away from the traditional studio model and relocated to the Eastern Mojave Desert.

Living and working in a quieter, more elemental environment sharpened how I observe movement. Nature doesn’t over-control. It self-organizes. It adapts under load. It responds to stress with efficiency rather than excess.

That perspective changed how I teach — not philosophically, but practically.

What informs the work today

My approach integrates:

• Classical Pilates principles
• Fascial science and biotensegrity
• Nervous system regulation
• Embodied cueing and perception-based teaching
• Nature's intelligence

Not as concepts to memorize — but as skills to feel, sense, and apply.

The goal is to teach teachers who can read bodies, adapt in real time, and support movement that organizes itself from the inside out.

Experience, grounded in practice

• 35+ years teaching
• 50,000+ client sessions
• Studio co-founder, educator, and mentor

Everything I teach has been tested on the studio floor — not just studied, theorized, or branded.

This is Pilates evolved through lived experience.

Less control. More freedom. Better Pilates
