Class Description
Classical-inspired Pilates exercises will build gentle heat to prime and align the body. Bringing your body to a warm temperature and tension-free state, we will unfold naturally into full-body stretches, light twists, seated forward folds, gently supported backbends, supported inversions, and more.
This pilates style is healing, therapeutic, beginner-friendly and wonderfully appropriate for those seeking:
Increased flexibility
Relief from chronic pain
Rest & Recovery from intense workout programs
Deeper body awareness
Anxiety relief
Recovery from injury
A restorative Pilates practice will deeply connect you to your core, will help to restore ideal hip function and ease lower back pain. A mix of dynamic and static stretching will help to increase blood circulation, restore balanced length/tension relationships in the body which in turn brings healing nutrients to the tired, tight or injured tissues.

$20 single class drop-in
What People Are Saying:
Finding Amy … was like spotting a unicorn in the wild.
Finding Amy after wading through a sea of instructors was like spotting a unicorn in the wild. Her extensive knowledge, encouragement, and rigor helped whip me into the best shape of my life. Our sessions were always demanding, effective and fun! She knew exactly how to find my weakest areas and coax my body to develop strength there, instead of just skipping over it with power or compensation. To date, she is my favorite studio teacher in LA and I’m so excited to see that she is offering online sessions now! I’ve always enjoyed her creative and exacting teaching style while keeping the workout light and fun with her sense of humor. I can not recommend Amy enough!

Working with Amy was a game-changer for me.
I started working with Amy after the birth of my second child. I was really struggling at the time to get motivated and stay motivated.
Working with Amy was a game-changer for me. She was so inspiring, encouraging me in just the right way to push myself a little farther each session. She was always very mindful about my specific body, and what my needs were, working with me to strengthen my particular areas of weakness. And it was always fun, even when it was hard!

She not only teaches Pilates skills, she ‘knows’ bodies…
Amy is upbeat and has positive energy.
She not only teaches Pilates skills, she ‘knows’ bodies, so she is able to adapt techniques to various body sizes and health issues.
In the years we worked together, she fashioned many adaptations to address my body aches or injuries
Valerie, Los Angeles
Just the right balance of coach and cheerleader…
I’ve been a Pilates lover for over a decade and Amy is by far my favorite teacher!
I could not recommend someone more – She is grounded, intuitive and passionate about bodywork. Each workout was tailored to my needs and goals, always leaving me feeling stronger and more centered. And I looked forward to seeing her week after week, even if it was at the crack of dawn, which is saying something! Beyond that, her energy is infectious and she provides you with just the right balance of coach and cheerleader. I was crushed when she left Los Angeles and cannot wait to start working with her again virtually.
