My Journey In Pilates & Yoga
As you watch my Home Page demonstration videos, it may look effortless to do Pilates exercises and Yoga poses. But the truth is it wasn’t always that way.
I started at the beginner level, and it took several years of consistent practice to develop the strength, flexibility and coordination I have today. Regular, longevity-focused exercise keeps me in shape and allows me to be a role model for my active-aging clients.
I understand how discouraging it can feel when your body doesn’t perform like it did at 25. The good news is, with consistent practice, you can rebuild strength, improve balance, and regain confidence in your body — no matter your age.
Strength, Balance & Confidence At Any Age
When I began to study Pilates, it wasn’t easy. I know what it’s like to struggle through tough exercise.
Through my personal exercise journey, academic study, and years of working with active adults 55+, I developed teaching methods that make learning movement accessible and safe. My approach helps students progressively improve strength, balance, coordination, posture, flexibility, and overall vibrant health, supporting their goals in preventive and healthy-aging fitness.
I’m here to help active adults 55+ achieve their fitness goals, feel confident in their bodies, and enjoy life with energy and mobility.
