About Us

Hello future and existing clients- I am in a new studio space! The studio is designed to accommodate semi-private 3:1 and private 1:1 classes. Pilates is a wonderful gift to give to yourself. Schedule a class and see those results first hand. See you soon! -Alisha

At Fundamentals of Pilates you will receive personalized instruction in body movement, strength training and recovery. Small group or individual guidance, as well as accessibility, and in particular affordability, are two things that I feel passionate about in the world of wellness. I felt called to provide a safe space that assured Pilates, wellness, nutrition and self care are for EVERYONE. The small classes allow for all paces and attention to individual needs, and the use of apparatus of all kinds are utilized. We celebrate real people and real bodies!

Why do Pilates?

Do you ever experience getting out of a chair, bed or the car and your body just doesn't move along with you? Do you get cramps in your feet, legs or neck? Do you work out most days in the week, but forget to stretch?

Pilates is a sequence of movements that creates stability, lengthens and strengthens ALL the muscles of your body and can help teach your body to better flow through your day-to-day life.

Everybody can do pilates.

Life can keep our bodies from using specific muscle groups: we're sitting too long, standing with a lean, dealing with injuries or surgeries, etc. Pilates movements are modified to help strengthen weak muscle groups, while lengthening and maintaining a balance of opposites.

Joseph Pilates

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness."

"Pilates is complete coordination of mind, body and spirit.

"A man is as young as his spinal column."

I knew nothing about pilates but had heard great things so I decided to give it a try. She does 1 on 1 and guides me through the whole session.
