MY APPROACH

Movement is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect with yourself—and I truly believe that Pilates is one of the most transformative practices you can do for your body.

At Centered Movement, every session is deeply personal. Whether you're joining a Pilates class, an FRC-based mobility session, or exploring the dynamic flow of Kalarippayatt (India’s traditional martial art), the focus is always on YOU. We work together to understand how your body moves, what it needs, and how we can restore balance and strength—both physically and mentally.

My Pilates classes are designed to help you refine technique, build strength, and improve alignment. But beyond just movement, they’re about developing awareness—tuning into your body and understanding how it functions. The goal? To leave each session feeling energized, more connected, and better equipped for everything life throws your way.

Alongside Pilates, I offer:

  • FRC® (Functional Range Conditioning) sessions to improve joint health, increase usable range of motion, and build true mobility that supports everyday movement.

  • Kalaripayattu-inspired Meithari training, rooted in tradition, focusing on body preparative practices that build agility, control, and grace through breath and flow.

🌿 Space to Move, Breathe, and Reconnect.

My light-filled studio is intentionally designed for small groups & personalized sessions in a supportive and calming environment. I offer : Private 1:1 sessions, Duets (2:1) & Semi Private Group Sessions (3:1) Sessions use a variety of Pilates equipment and are tailored in real-time to how you feel the moment you step in—whether you’re dealing with low energy, recovering from a tweak or injury, or ready to challenge yourself. Some days you might move slow and deep. Other days, you might sweat and flow. Either way, we work with your body, never against it.

At Centered Movement, my goal is to help you feel stronger, more mobile, and fully connected in your body—on and off the mat.
