I started Pilates and Yoga For You back in 2010 with just two classes — and here we are, 16 years later, still growing together. 💛

Some of you have been with me from day one, and many others have been coming regularly for years. That is such a privilege. Truly — without you, there would be no Pilates and Yoga For You. I’m incredibly grateful.

Pilates is so much more than physical exercise.
It’s mindful movement — paying attention to every single action to create a strong connection between mind and body.

Our classes work the whole system: the nervous and muscular systems, mobility, balance, and even facial release — supporting true mind-body connection from the inside out.

Rather than naming classes after body parts, we offer Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. This means no matter your experience, strength, agility, or injuries, you’ll experience a complete, balanced practice.

We also use a variety of small props — Foam Rollers, Soft Balls, Terra Bands, Sliders, Swiss Balls and more — to challenge the body and keep the mind engaged.

Come and try a class.
We’re a friendly bunch who love to move, laugh, connect, and exercise together. 😊
We are in the Pegasus Community Center, next to the Vet and 2 doors down from the Sunshine cafe.

💫Happy New Year💫

That’s it for this year.
Last Pilates classes with the Swiss ball!!

What a year we had, lots of fun, laughter, zip & scooping and for the men it was a “sip & scooping” to finish in style.

Meri Kirihimete 🤶🏻🎄🎅🏼🌟, have a fun, safe holiday break, be kind to each other and keep your push ups on your daily list.

Thank you for your continuous support - I’m blessed to have you all in my classes 😘🙏🏼. Alex
