"Authentic" is a word regularly used to describe the Pilates method in its pure and unadulterated form. But a vital component of this method is the authenticity of the instructor.

This work is so deeply honest that to fully appreciate the brilliance of Joseph Pilates, you must have the right instructor – one who has studied the work thoroughly and truly understands its potential and power. Not only do I impart the classical teachings of Joseph Pilates, I equally incorporate the other two, often over-shadowed elements of his work: the mind and the spirit. Although it may seem like the world is spinning out of control leaving many feeling disconnected, the Pilates method brings a sense of wholeness as it inspires complete coordination of body, mind and spirit.

I believe practicing Pilates with mindfulness makes it just a little easier to deal from a place of strength with whatever life brings us.
