At House of Classical Pilates, we teach the original work of Joseph Pilates as it was intended to be practiced and passed down.

​

Through a direct teaching lineage from Joseph Pilates to Jay Grimes and my teachers, Joel Crosby and Karen Frischman, I was trained to preserve the complete Classical system—honoring its original order, purpose, and principles while adapting instruction to each individual.​

​

Joseph Pilates

Founder of Contrology

Joseph Pilates developed Contrology as a complete system combining strength, flexibility, coordination, breath, and control. Each exercise and apparatus serves a purpose, with progress built through precision and consistent practice.​

​

Jay Grimes

Direct Student of Joseph Pilates

Jay Grimes trained directly under Joseph Pilates in his New York studio and dedicated his life to preserving and teaching the original Classical method.

​

Joel Crosby and Karen Frischman

Teachers and Mentors

Both studied extensively under Jay Grimes, passing down the exercises, philosophy, and progression of the complete Classical Pilates system.

​

Through their mentorship, I learned to understand and teach the method as a connected whole.

​

My Approach

Every session honors this lineage through the original Classical order, individualized instruction, hands-on corrections, and gradual progression.

​

My goal is to help clients build strength, control, confidence, and independence through a lifelong practice rooted in Joseph Pilates’ original method.
