Oakville Classical Pilates Studio

Our boutique #Pilates studio in Oakville, Ontario strives to help in rehabilitating injuries, improving posture, flexibility and core strength using an integrated, holistic approach to exercise. Whether one-on-one or in small-group classes, OCPS is sure to deliver a body-transforming session. The Classical Pilates Method of body conditioning is a Whole Body Movement Based System of stretching and strengthening exercises developed by Joseph H. Pilates. Pilates taught in this manner will strengthen and tone muscles, improve spine function, realign the the body, improve posture, increase flexibility and balance, unite the body and mind, and create a more streamline shape. Classical Pilates will transform the body and rid the body of the compensatory weakness that contribute to chronic injuries. The benefits of Pilates span many individual needs, from those who are new to exercise, to the extreme athlete as well as those challenged by persistent ailments and injuries. Regardless of the fitness level of an individual, Pilates will work with each individual's needs allowing one to reach the ultimate goal of restoring the mind, body and spirit. At Oakville Classical Pilates Studio, I teach what is known as "Classical Pilates" and I am true to Joseph Pilates' Original Method. As Pilates has grown in popularity over the years, there has been a trend to dilute Pilates. There have been many programs developed that are 'Pilates-based' and 'Pilates inspired'. These programs are Not Classical Pilates. Most studios in Canada teach classes that combine other movement modalities such as yoga, tai chi, dance, and physiotherapy in their classes or teach ineffective partial versions of the Real Pilates Method. There are very few Classical Pilates teachers throughout Canada. My love of Pilates started in 2003 and I began my training in 2006. I Currently hold a Core Mat I,II and a Full 600 Hour Apparatus Comprehensive Certification through Power Pilates NYC. I have dedicated my skill to hundreds of hours of additional apprenticeship and training. I have attended workshops and continue my training with First and Second Generation Classically Trained Pilates Teachers. I have been honoured to learn from some of the best in the industry like Jay Grimes, Bob Liekens, Mari Winsor, Brooke Siler, Kathi Ross- Nash, Peter Fiasca, Chris Robinson, Susan Moran, Julie Toren, Jay Apking, Cara Hazelton, and Amy Taylor Alpers. I am a member of the Authentic Pilates Union and the Pilates Method Alliance. Oakville Classical Pilates is a fully equipped Pilates Studio featuring Gratz, Basil and Peak Pilates Equipment.
