The need for a new model

After 10,000 hours of teaching and studying Pilates, I believe that it is the most potent method of movement I have encountered.  However, the complexity of the human body means that addressing the mechanics and alignment of the musculoskeletal system isn’t sufficient for optimal health and well-being. 

Additions necessary

Joseph Pilates didn’t just exercise.  He believed that “above all, learn how to breathe correctly,” and “never fail to get all the sunshine and fresh air you can.”  He himself used other modalities to promote health.  I myself have had to explore other modalities to be my best self. Optimize will incorporate some of them to help you be your best self.

Better cells, better tissues, better you.

I believe true solutions for improved health will need to act at a cellular level.  Then instead of addressing each body system or organ in isolation through a variety of specialists, you can give your cells the foundation they need and the result will be improved health across the body. 

Optimize session

My new model of instruction still has Pilates at the foundation, but it also incorporates other modalities to optimize your mind, body, and spirit.  Lessons are 70-minutes, allowing for a thorough Pilates session followed by additional possibilities:

  • Breath work

  • Meditation

  • HeartMath

  • Lymphatic stimulation 

  • Face exercise

  • NeuroPilates

  • Red and infrared light therapy 

  • Grounding

  • Cellular bioenergetics coaching
