Aligned Pilates is A Space where People Learn Joseph Pilates’ Method of Contrology.

Welcome

I’m Carmen, a student and teacher of Joe Pilates’ work for over twenty years. I’ve studied with first- and second-generation teachers, developing my practice and teaching skills. As a lifelong student of the work, I understand what it takes to help people start their journey and stay consistent with their workouts.

The late Jay Grimes, an excellent teacher of mine, said, “Every student that comes through that door is your teacher; you just have to listen.” I listen, offer my expertise, and provide the space for students to practice.

My life’s work is to help those keen on learning Joe’s exercise method at Aligned Pilates.

See you around the studio.

The Space

Since 2007, I’ve been obsessed with replicating Joe Pilates’ success with others, and today, I proudly offer a space where students champion their workouts. Through an immersive experience of recreating what it was like to train at Joe’s gym, students of Aligned Pilates learn the Reformer and Mat exercises and have access to other apparatus tailored to their body needs.

Aligned Pilates is equipped with Reformers, Mats, a Cadillac, a High Chair, a Wunda Chair, an Arm Chair, a Spine Corrector, a Small Barrel, a High Barrel, and other auxiliary apparatus that teach people about their bodies, how to improve flexibility, develop a strong torso, work on alignment, and ignite or even re-ignite a mind-body connection.

By developing an awareness of the body, students trust their instincts and choose what makes their bodies feel good during each workout. Each student of Aligned understands Joe’s mission—the work changes the body.

Your Practice

Working with many students over the years, I have a few ideas on how people can effectively learn Joseph Pilates’ corrective exercises.

access To The Studio.

Students can access all of the studio's apparatus with AP WORKOUTS, PRIVATES, and SELF-PRACTICE hours.

New students start with a basic program consisting of 4 private lessons and 2 Aligned Pilates (AP) workouts—AP COMBO PACKAGE.

ConsistenT Practice.

A consistent practice of at least four days a week, combining at-home and studio practice, will build a strong body foundation and help you assimilate new information so that there is progress.

Have an Open-Mind.

Learning Joseph Pilates’ work requires TIME and DISCIPLINE. If a person dedicates themselves to learning the practice, what feels very unfamiliar initially will make sense with time.

Don’t quit before the magic happens!

The key is to be open to new experiences and trust Joe Pilates’ work.
