These videos were created in an effort to offer a glimpse into the large repertoire of exercises that make up the original Pilates Method. My hope is that the viewer will appreciate the genius of Joseph Pilates’ work and see how he connected the exercises of the matwork with the apparatus work to create a complete system of physical and mental conditioning for power and flexibility.

Please keep in mind that Pilates looks different on every person and is constantly modified to suit the individual. I have done Pilates with various injuries including a broken foot and ankle and during my two pregnancies. The beauty of Pilates is that it molds to your current situation. As a former professional ballet dancer and mother of two children this is how Pilates looked on my body on the various days of filming.
