PILATES

In Suite sessions, special events, corporate retreats & group classes in Whistler, Pemberton & Squamish

With over a decade of teaching experience, our sessions offer a refined blend of Classical and contemporary Pilates that are rich with original Pilates context while immersed in natural creativity and room for personal expression.

Your spine health is our focus: mobility (agility), stability (strength), and longevity (stamina).

A true Pilates experience is a “Return to Life” - the title of the original publication of Joseph Pilates handbook in the 1940s - and stands the test of time in today.

Our sessions offer this path of discovery…

  • Said to be a “visual of your powerhouse”

    Integration into matwork offers feedback and resistance - deepening the connection to the centreline.

    Traditional circle placements include between the hands, the legs, along the next and head and on the floor.

  • The barrels (baby barrel, spine corrector and ladder barrel) - offer invaluable integration for spinal depth, powerhouse support and apparatus feedback in movement.

    It is “my favourite” prop to layer into mat practice.

  • Don’t be fooled by a 3lb weight - they add up!

    The addition of hand weights is intended to deepen the powerhouse connection, offer alignment feedback and increase the challenge of staying in control.

  • With nearly 30 apparatus invented in the Pilates system - to support this systemic approach other tools are integrated.

    May include feedback for feet, toes, breathing and eyes.

A stunning visual example of the original Pilates Mat movement.

“If your spine is stiff you’re old. If your spine is supple you’re young.”
