movement inspired by breath

Pilates works to connect your body, mind, and spirit through concentration and control of one’s own muscles. Pilates is a full body workout that both stretches and strengthens at the same time, with a deep emphasis on the core. It improves joint mobility and flexibility, improves posture and balance. Connecting your body and mind in this manner creates a more unified and healthy body.

I began my fitness journey 30 years ago in San Diego as a competitive gymnast and soccer player. Following a gymnastics injury, I was introduced to Pilates. It was love at first sight as soon as I saw the equipment! While attending TCU in Fort Worth, Texas I began the journey of becoming a certified Pilates Instructor with the PhysicalMind Institute. I have a bachelor of science degree in Psychology from TCU. I have been teaching Pilates over 20 years. I owned an operated my own studio in Fort Worth for 8 years called D Method.
