As your body grows older, the back muscles can tighten up creating stiffness, discomfort, and eventually pain. This can happen while sitting, while standing or moving through daily life. There are several reasons for this, but the key is not enough motion . You need to move your body to not lose

We Are Happy to Be Here Doing What We Are Doing!
Our fabulous team of private pilates professionals have our roots in the dance and theater world with performance credits on Broadway, off Broadway, NYC theaters, Los Angeles theaters and playhouses and around the world before translating that extensive experience into helping others gain better bodies, better lives. We have taught dance and theatre throughout the US, South America and beyond.
So, why are we now Pilates instructors? We each discovered the Joseph Pilates method and technique that helped us rehabilitate our own injuries, prevent injuries, strengthen, stretch and balance our bodies. We racked up 1000’s of hours of working on our own bodies before training you. We fell in love with the Pilates technique!
Pilates helped Zonnie’s knees and neck & shoulders and she wanted to do that for others. Olga needed to fix their daughter’s scoliosis and feet misalignment from gymnastics. Linda was looking for more life stability and loved how Pilates was being used in Physical Therapy/Pilates studios for rehabilitation and healing. Jennie loved how it balanced her dance and theater work. We all found careers in which we can apply our years of knowledge and experience with how the body works, how it can better align, strengthen, stretch, balance.
And that’s Classic & Rehabilitative Pilates.
We have work with complete beginners, elite athletes and everyone between: tennis players, soccer players, dancers, gymnasts, golfers, canoers, paddle boarders, surfers, swimmers, bicyclists, aerialists, ballerinas, walkers, hikers, new moms, long-time moms, grandmoms, pregnant moms, dads, granddads, cooks, computer geeks & non geeks, producers, writers, directors, gardeners, artists, designers, day-sitters, dog-sitters and couch lovers. Oh yeah and kids!

07/02/2026

I used to have Sciatica -- Boy, I never expected to say that. I never expected to get sciatica. I mean, come on! Me???
However last year, after dropping out my regular consistent workouts because I was ‘too busy’ and ‘too much admin to do’ and ‘too much whatever’, I started getting that pain.
At first, a sharp pain in my big toe would yank me out of a deep sleep in the middle of the night. I found that if I adjusted my pelvis the pain would disappear.
Later, I got a burning sensation running down my leg while teaching. It became more and more consistent despite stretching, regular pilates workouts, massaging with a tennis ball in the glute, or the sciatica release exercise I have used successfully on other clients.
If you’ve ever experienced it, you know it’s more than just back or hip pain. It can feel like a sharp, burning sensation that travels from your lower back and hip and down your leg. Some days it was a dull ache. Some days it felt like a shock when I stood up, sat down, or moved the wrong way.
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It originates in the lower spine, travels through the inside of the pelvis, by the sitz bones (the two bones in your butt that you sit on) and down the back of the leg to the foot.
So, after a few weeks of trying the usual suspects of exercise my instructor (yes, I always hire my own instructors) and I went into full on ATTACK! Intention went up, Attention went up and Decision to Handle Zeroed In!
I always hire my own superb instructors at the studio to train me. They are each excellent, they have their own specialties and it is good have another set of eyes and brilliant mind assess me and work me in ways I don’t train myself. That is the beauty of different instructors: each one sees and focuses on different details. And Pilates is ALL ABOUT DETAILS!

Olga and I went into hyper-attack on my hips and glutes. We already knew that one glute was overtight and grabbing. The other glute was in Bolivia on vacation looking for the Sundance Kid. That is what it felt like. Now, this wasn’t new news, and we had been addressing this, but it had escalated with my lack of consistent workout.

With the added attack into my hips and glutes – releasing the tight right and heavily activating the lazy left repeatedly in a zillion different ways, correcting the rotation in my hips which caused a short right leg and sitting on a tennis ball under that tight hamstring, the sciatica started to calm down. It was a little less and a little less. We kept up the full-frontal attack twice a week and I kept up daily exercises on my own.

Then one day, I realized that I used to have sciatica. Now I haven’t had it once for months and months. Whew! That was hairy. But, as usual, we handled it! Sometimes it just takes that extra effort to fully confront and handle the situation. I didn’t give up, I didn’t give in to it, I made sure I continued until it was fully handled. I believe you can do this with just about anything – persist to fully handle it!!!

I make sure that I do pilates with my instructors 2 x per week and at least once or twice training myself. Someone once asked me what I would do with a million dollars. My first answer, “hire my pilates instructors 5 days/week!”

And that is why I coined the term: Better Body. Better Life.
