Wholistic movement for the modern age.
A modern take on movement, rooted in the principles of Pilates. Meant to transform the body and inspire the mind – a practice for a lifetime of wellness.
Welcome!
I have always been interested in our bodies – anatomy, movement and the role nutrition plays in health. I developed a love for running in high-school and ran cross-country in college where I earned a BS in Human Development in 2001. I completed an MBA in 2003 and an 800-hour Pilates certification in 2004, lead by Romana Kryzanowska, an direct apprentice of Joseph Pilates.
I attended on-going teacher training from Pilates Aligned of Beverly Hills, while living in California, and completed the Breast Cancer Exercise Specialist (BCES) training through the Pink Ribbon Program in 2018. I am trained in CoreAlign by Balanced Body and have been certified through the Pilates Method Alliance.
Through teaching pilates I have expanded my practice to include strength and cardio elements as well as breath-work and mindfulness. After all these years, movement practice is still an exciting, ever-evolving passion.
My teaching style aims to address each individual's specific needs and fitness level while fostering community and connection. I’m excited to begin our journey together.

Laura is an exceptional instructor. She makes her class different from week to week, so students don't get bored with the same-old order of exercises; instead, it's the challenging mind-body experience Joseph Pilates surely intended from his system. Laura also has a vibrant, upbeat personality and sense of humor; so her classes are always fun to be in, despite how hard we are all working.

Two big “thumbs up” for any Pilates mat class taught by Laura, she is such a terrific instructor. Her teaching style demonstrates her total knowledge of the Pilates method. She makes every class challenging yet successful for the beginner as well as the advanced student. I always appreciate a teacher that give modifications. Also, you never get bored because Laura comes up with the most interesting combinations of exercises and never repeats the same sequence in the same class.

I was in need of a reboot of my fitness and physique. I was 49 and headed toward the unacceptable “Dad Bod.” I knew I needed an expert to keep me accountable and customize a plan to help me get magazine cover ready. Laura is a bonafide expert and an even better human being. I’ve decreased my body fat, increased lean muscle, drastically improved my strength, and my core is looking pretty bad ass.

Laura is an exceptional Pilates instructor. I've worked with her for over 5 years in both group classes and private lessons. She always adjusts the workouts to what my body needs and pays attention to how I'm performing the exercises. She's also a certified Pink Ribbon Program instructor and after my bilateral mastectomy worked with me to eliminate the stiffness and soreness post surgery and helped me regain full mobility and flexibility. Practicing with Laura is always fun and filled with laughter and positive results.
