Aloha! I'm Arlene
I’m an informed and educated Classical Pilates teacher and I strongly believe in the power of this work to transform the human body, mind and spirit. What I know from experience is that Pilates becomes more potent when studying with teachers who trained close to it's source. I had the extraordinary opportunity to train with Jay Grimes, one of the few remaining teachers in the world who learned the Method directly from its inventor, Joe Pilates.

One of the most valuable things I learned from Jay 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.
I host workshops for teachers here at my studio and I would be thrilled to teach a workshop series at your studio. Contact me for my Out Of Town Workshop Descriptions and Rates.

Keeping It Simple
I use my hands as a way to guide and empower my students. I believe that teaching what is important and keeping my approach as clear and simple as possible is key to helping others connect to the Method and through daily practice one begins to access the immensity and power of Joe Pilates work.
I have been working with Arlene for a few years now as I live between Vancouver and Maui. I absolutely love her energy. She is a supreme teacher. I feel that she tunes into my body's needs and I always feel stronger when I leave her sessions. Pilates is FUN. There is nothing as wonderful as being able to exercise when I am on 'holidays' and right next to the ocean. She is also a very good instructor. She also has very healing hands and does beautiful massage treatments. Being able to work out every day at her studio, under her guidance, while at my second holiday home on Maui, has played an important part in me being able to live a balanced life. I feel blessed to know her.

My wife and I are Pilates enthusiasts and for our recent trip to Maui were looking for a qualified teacher to continue our practice. We found Arlene, and wow, not only did we find a great teacher, but a wonderful friend as well. Arlene is not only extremely knowledgeable of Pilates and the human structural body, but of the human spirit as well.

Arlene is a gem of an instructor and we are lucky to have her in our little island. As an instructor myself, she is my go to, an excellent mentor. So informative and inspirational!
-Amie Baca
A wonderful teacher in the Pilates studio with the best view ever (ocean front). If you live on Maui, or are
planning to come for a visit, try a session with Arlene. She has helped me recover from a major accident and has taught me so much about how my body works.
-Susan Whyche
I am a classically trained Pilates instructor since 2002. I recently went and had some sessions with Arlene. I was hoping to get some tips and a feel for what her mentor and first generation teacher, Jay Grime's, "Vintage Pilates" work is all about. I got all I went for and more. Arlene showed me "little big" things that will help me get my strong body stronger. and "continuing ed" for me to bring home to my Pilates studio in Prescott AZ. Arlene's a fabulous trainer. Can't wait to go back.
