Due to the Covid-19 epidemic all fitness studios have been closed in the City of Los Angeles. To help ease a bit of stress during these uncertain times, I will offer a free Pilates and movement class at 12pm on Thursday, March 19th.

Email me to sign up for the weekly class links and feel free to pass the word along. Maybe we’ll theme classes, but maybe you should do whatever you want, wear your pjs, a dress, request a theme, drink a brandy, let’s just get together and say hi and keep moving forward. Take care of your friends, neighbors and loved ones out there. Hope to see you soon, no matter where on earth you are!
I’m excited to announce I will be teaching Pilates and movement classes in the Hudson River Valley June 19th - 26th. I’ll be returning again in the Fall and am using this first trip as an introduction to my teaching style and assess the community needs for exercise classes. I’ll be offering a few short, inexpensive workshops at the Tangent Theatre and will also be teaching equipment classes and private lessons at Rhinebeck Pilates.
