Aloha! I'm ArleneI’m an informed and educated Classical Pilates teacher and I strongly believe in the power of this work to transform the human body and alter your psychic state. What I know from 20+ years of experience is that the closer I researched the source of this amazing method, the more potent my practice became. I am a Vintage Pilates graduate which means I learned my craft from some of the brightest minds in the industry, including first generation teacher Jay Grimes, who learned the Method directly from Joe Pilates.

Jay Grimes, Kuau Store, Paia Maui 2019
|
One of the most valuable things I learned from Jay Grimes is to see the whole picture of Joe Pilates' enormous body of work much more simply. That doesn't mean it's gotten easier, but that there's a depth of understanding and clarity as I practice and teach.

Who I Work With
I work with a wide ranging clientele of various ages and fitness levels, as well as apprentices just learning to teach and as a mentor for dedicated teachers who want to deepen their understanding of Classical Pilates, improve their practice and create community.
Freedom, Empowerment and Healing
Autonomy and independence are encouraged at my studio. I invite my students to learn their exercises and help develop their intuition in regards to movement. I do this mostly by getting out of their way and letting them move. When necessary, I use my hands as a way to guide them and add to the energy of their workout, but I believe it's mostly through autonomous, daily practice that one begins to access the immensity and healing power of Joe Pilates work as it courses through the body.
