I’ve been doing Pilates for years, and somehow my body still manages to introduce me to muscles I apparently forgot to meet. The more attention you pay, the more there is to notice. A new connection. A different way of moving. Something that
Walk into most fitness and the question is whether you can keep up. The program is fixed and your body is the variable. This work runs the other way. Joe built it for every kind of body from the start, and a century later that’s still how it s

I know the feeling of living entirely in your head. Cornell undergrad, Wharton MBA, Director at Google. My brain was always running the show.

My body has always been part of the story too. Competitive figure skating as a kid. Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting as an adult. Two Ironman 70.3 finishes. I know how to push. What I didn't know was how to move fully with intention.

The short version: after major surgery in London, I walked into a classical Pilates studio looking for rehab. I walked out taller, more aligned, more powerful. I was instantly hooked. I’d tried plenty of Pilates over the years, but the original method was the one that actually changed everything

I completed my comprehensive certification at Equinox in London and remain a serious student of the method. I train regularly with Alexandra Edwards and Christos Niaros and have taken workshops with Brooke Siler and Maria Earle. Pilates has a lineage, and I believe in honoring it.

What I love most about this work is watching clients move without pain, stand taller, and feel at home in their bodies again. At the end of the day, it’s about connection - your body, your breath, and the inner strength that’s been there all along.
