Welcome to Embody Pilates
Welcome to my brand-new website, Embody Pilates.
Embody Pilates grew out of my lifelong love of wellness, dance, movement, physical fitness, and Pilates—deeply intertwined with my work as a professional choreographer, dancer, and multidisciplinary artist. After more than twenty years as a movement specialist working with people of all ages, backgrounds, physical abilities, and emotional needs, I have learned one essential truth: movement and creative expression are not luxuries—they are medicine. They are life-changing practices that have the power to heal from the inside out, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
With Embody Pilates, movement is not about perfection or performance. It is about presence, curiosity, and connection—to your body, your breath, and your inner world. Pilates is a powerful foundation for this work. Through mindful movement, alignment, and core strength, Pilates helps us build resilience, restore balance, and move through life with greater ease and confidence.
As we step into a new year, I invite you to reflect on three simple yet meaningful ways you can enrich your life through movement and creativity. If you have always loved photography, painting, or music, consider making this the year you welcome more of it into your daily life. Take a photography class, wander through museums and galleries for inspiration, or finally pick up that instrument you have always wanted to try. Creative expression, much like mindful movement, has the ability to quiet the mind, heal emotional wounds, and offer support during stressful moments—whether at work or at home.
Alongside creativity, I encourage you to explore new ways of moving your body. If you have ever felt hesitant to try something because it seemed too challenging—or if you have been stuck in the same routine for years—this is your invitation to gently expand beyond it. Whether it’s Pilates, dance, yoga, long walks in the park, swimming, or cycling, experimenting with new forms of movement allows both the body and mind to respond, adapt, and grow.
If you are drawn to high-energy cardio classes, consider integrating a more mindful approach through Pilates or gentle yoga—practices that emphasize alignment, breath, and nervous system regulation. If, on the other hand, you naturally gravitate toward Pilates and yoga, you may benefit from incorporating more cardiovascular movement such as walking, jogging, or swimming to support heart health and boost serotonin and dopamine—the hormones that help us feel energized and uplifted.
With Embody Pilates, the goal is balance. Strength and softness. Effort and ease. Grounding and expansion. Through intentional movement, we learn how to listen to our bodies, respect their signals, and cultivate a deeper sense of calm and clarity that carries far beyond the mat.
Let this year be one of exploration—discovering new ways to move, create, and express yourself. As you grow more balanced and embodied, you may find that your own transformation naturally inspires those around you to do the same.
Embody all the creative and healthy practices the world has to offer, and step into this year with renewed clarity, confidence, and calm.
