My Full Story
I first tried Pilates in college. I loved how it helped me feel more at ease in my body, but access and cost made it hard to continue.
I live with functional scoliosis, so I understand the posture imbalances and uneven effort it can create. With steady practice, I noticed real changes: better alignment, more strength, and more ease in everyday movement.
I kept going, studying, reading, and training, and eventually completing a classical mat certification so I could teach what helped me. My training in occupational therapy sharpened my eye for form and safe progressions, keeping sessions practical and grounded in real life.
Today, I teach plain-language Pilates with an OT-informed approach. Sessions focus on alignment, strength, and mobility you can feel. We move at a pace your nervous system can handle, using minimal gear and simple props when useful.
I started In Pursuit of Pilates to make in-person and virtual Pilates in Manhattan more welcoming and accessible. If you're ready to begin, I'll match you to the right option and confirm your first session.
