About The Studio

“YOU CANT TEACH PILATES.  YOU CAN ONLY GUIDE THEM TO FIND IT IN THEIR BODIES.” WHAT MY MENTOR, FIRST GENERATION TEACHER, JAY GRIMES ALWAYS SAYS. I DIDN’T QUIT UNDERSTAND IT AT FIRST. BUT WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE TEACHERS PROGRAM “THE WORK” UNDER HIS GUIDANCE AND OTHER BRILLIANT LIKE MINDED TEACHERS, AND WAS DAILY PREPARING FOR THE PROGRAM IS WHEN MY BODY FELT AND UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY WHAT HE KEPT ON SAYING.  WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST THE SYSTEM AND LET OUR BODIES FIGURE IT OUT.
