Weekly Classes in Pilates, Mobility Stretch, and Meditation
In-studio in Columbia, MD and online
Pilates
Classical Pilates roots with modern knowledge for the modern body. Back-friendly core strength with very little forward rounding of the spine, plus balance and conditioning drawn from sports training and physical therapy.
Meditation
Free 20-minute guided meditations. Settle in, follow my voice, and give your mind a kind place to rest and grow. Everyone is welcome in the being human club.
Mobility Stretch
Gentle core work, posture exercises and fascia release for long days at a desk, long flights and stiff hips. Fresh off the couch or training for your next race, you’ll find your level here.
Take good care of yourself every week
“I want to be alive
to all the life that is in me now,
to know each moment
to its uttermost.”
— Kahlil Gibran
You bring curiosity and an open heart. I handle everything else.
