Stay Fit and Pain-Free with Classical Pilates
Sitting long hours?
- Has cramming for deadlines weakened your back muscles?

About
Classical Pilates gives you a series of simple (but not easy!) exercises that mobilize your spine and help you breathe better. In doing these exercises, you become more limber and agile. Consistent practice brings you pretty good results. Diving into the entire system with gusto yields awesome results and dramatic change. You will accomplish more than you thought possible and feel empowered to try new things. By moving your body, you move your mind. Dare to outperform yourself!
You are only as young
as your spine is flexible

I am a physical therapist and was struggling with back pain, unable to run or walk without my SI going out. I had two kids and two knee surgeries in the last few years. I started working with Anita and after a few months, I feel stronger and I am now jogging over three miles without pain. I feel the best I have in over eight years thanks to Pilates with Anita!!
— Marissa Schaeuble
I had shoulder pain on and off before I started Pilates with Anita. Thanks to her reminders, I am now more aware of tension in my shoulders. I think about this outside of class. After months of doing Pilates, my shoulder pain is gone.
