Think a regular plank is tough? Try adding a trapeze bar into the mix! Suspension work really forces your muscles to stabilize in a whole new way. My client is absolutely crushing this set today. Rate this move's difficulty from 1-10 in the comments!

Every teacher brings a different perspective. My focus is helping clients understand how their body organizes movement, creating a personalized blueprint before progressing to strength.

Since 2006, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients one-on-one, prioritizing their needs and their care first.

Over the years, I’ve realized people are looking for individual attention, guidance, a safe space, and an environment where they can let go, breathe, become aware, focus on themselves, and direct their energy inward.

I love seeing physicians experience the neuro downshifts that Pilates can offer. When the nervous system begins to settle, movement changes, breathing changes, and often the entire experience of being in the body changes as well.

Client feedback from yesterday’s session.

The highlighted areas represent where most noticeable changes in tension, awareness, and ease of movement.

Every body is different. Every session is individualized.

The goal isn’t more effort—it’s often less unnecessary tension.

For more than two decades, I have continued to evolve and refine individualized Pilates training rooted in observation, support, nervous-system awareness, posture, movement quality, and intentional stretching.

The PASS™ System — Passive-Aggressive Stretching™ — was developed as a different level of stretching designed to complement Pilates training through assisted lengthening, decompression, mobility support, and nervous-system downshifting.

Glass City Pilates® integrates:
• PASS™ System
• Root Breathing™ Technique
• Bio-Neurodevelopmental™ Nervous System Downshifting Technique
• Individualized Pilates Programming
• Direct Lineage Teacher Training

Serving Perrysburg, Toledo, and the surrounding communities.
