Most people who find OFFLINE have spent years living in their heads. At some point they want back into their bodies, whether that’s because something hurts, something’s tight, or they simply know they should be moving better than they are. I was one of them.

I spent twenty years in finance and analytics, the last stretch as a director at Google in London, and outside work I was always training for something: figure skating, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, triathlons. I knew how to push, but I didn’t know how to move from my center, and years of knee pain, tight hips, and compensations had caught up with me. I was strong and I was stuck.

After surgery in London, I walked into a classical Pilates studio not knowing what classical meant. What I found was a method that challenged me in ways nothing else had, taught by people who could see what my body was doing and why. My knee pain began to resolve, and for the first time I was in my body instead of above it.

I certified in London and never stopped studying. I still train every week with my own teachers, because this work is learned over a lifetime.

I teach the method the way it was designed. Everyone is lopsided somewhere, and that’s information, not a flaw. We build the foundation first and then challenge it at pace. When you’re in the room, the hour is yours, with no phones, no noise, and a teacher who is watching you.

That’s what I found in London, and I wanted it here. Privates, where the work is one-to-one and built around your body, and small classical classes, where you practice the method and start to own it yourself with a teacher’s eye still on you. OFFLINE is both.
