QUANTUM PILATES: Pilates as a Process of Inquiry "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the true Tao. " Tao Te Ching
As you move in the session, your body tells a story. Each Pilates exercise is simply a container for that story to unravel itself. Through form, one transcends limitations. The Pilates apparatus supports and suspends your body. In many of these movements you are in fact putting your body into positions of flight! Taking root to fly! Your body begins to defy gravity with the use of metal springs.You listen and feel inwardly whilst catching my verbal guidance with ease. There is no stress, no task, simply exploration. My role is to guide you whilst reading your body. There is no agenda, simply inquiry.
Together we find pockets of doubt in your body where a sense of safety can be restored and we ask ways to bring the body back to equilibrium of some measure, whether big or small. Those pockets of doubt can look like gripping patterns, compensations, or functional amnesia of some sort. The whole journey is one of self discovery. It requires a whole brain approach where your left brain mechanical intelligence yields to your right brain of creative imagination and big picture awareness.
Throughout this journey patience and trust is cultivated. You don’t “do” the exercise, rather your body informs you of what’s available today and you simply respond and receive. You see, it’s a two way communication where the inner direction takes precedence. The end result is emanation. And what a relief it really is to let go of the left brain, I lovingly call it the Nike brain- "Just do it!' brain- to drop the title of taskmaster for an hour and just get curious, just explore, just be. Without getting caught up in expectations and alignments, we just flow through. The lesson provides the structure in which the magic of transformation is invited to occur.
“Whatever we are experiencing at all times is truth. all is to be trusted, all is to be allowed .” Richard Rudd, Gene Keys
Typical signs of true inner and outer transformation can include-
You will be less painful, less lost, less angry, less overweight or underweight.
Your cortisol levels would be normal,
Your nervous system would not be in overdrive,
Your sleep will normalize, your relationships will thrive,
You will say yes only when you mean it, and easily say no without feeling bad.
You will have deep peace when making a decision without consulting friends and family and still have no idea how you really feel.
I know this is bold, and I also know this to be true in my experience and observations. This is my assessment after two decades of teaching.
It is in this light of inquiry that I am expanding and redefining how I teach this method:
You will forge a safe and healthy relationship with movement via the Pilates Method, walk away with a NEW healthy mindset and an excellent foundation of movement. You will feel confident walking into any (Pilates) class or private sessions when you graduate my program, with a refined relationship with your bodymind.
Your program is a combined curriculum of movement and mindset exploration and they are symbiotic. Programs have a definite start and end point for true sustainability.
If this sounds like something that interests you, if you have 6 months to play and pivot in a meaningful way, learn very good Pilates and get a full stress mindset reset, book your welcome sessions or schedule a complimentary 15 minute discovery call. I am normally booked out 2 weeks, and happy to discuss other time options if whats offered doesnt work.

This work is absolutely symbiotic. Change alone on the physical level does not stick, it must be supported by your belief system. This Love Day I would like to offer a low commitment sampler type package for those who are Pilates-curious and want to work with my methodology. We will clean up your movement and mental cobwebs so you can thrive and enjoy a mindbody experience!
