Teens get a lot of messages about who and how they should look, and move, and be in the world. They always have. Today, these messages come louder, faster, and often with more insidious undercurrents.

Pilates is a specific thoughtful way of moving the body. For teens, I teach Pilates in a way that emphasizes taking up space; moving with confidence; learning anatomy and kinesiology, and building strength. flexibility, and resilience in the body. Pilates is not about weight loss but is about posture and carriage, and learning to appreciate your body for what you can do.
