Holistic means recognizing and nurturing the connection between our body and mind.

Classical pilates is very different from the average pilates class you might find in LA. It’s more precise, focused on targeting smaller muscle groups to build around the bones. Classical pilates is mindfulness; it’s very in tune with breathing techniques and building posture. Instead of just getting a workout, you are stabilizing the body so that it can get stronger. I was drawn to this version of pilates because it merges both physical and emotional wellness in its practice.

Mentorship is a calling.

I’ve studied with some of the best holistic mentors in the world. Through learning the straight roots of classical pilates, I have been able to integrate my own techniques into my practice, always with a focus on mindfulness, meditation, emotional awareness, and physical therapy. I believe that achieving self-awareness takes discipline and dedication but it can be done with the right amount of support. I will provide you with the resources and strategies that have helped me and so many others strengthen the body and nurture the mind. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about my services.

I have been doing Pilates with Charlene for around 3 months. Thank you teacher Charlene for saving me during this Quarantine time which help me to keep fit even better than before. Her Virtual Pilates experience has been so easy and convenient as normal Zoom class or in-person individeal private class. The setup time is incredibly easy and convenient - place a towel or mat on the floor and turn on my computer and breathe! I feel so fresh after each class. I definitely feel less stressed and truly forget about my worries for a little while...

I have been taking Charlene's Mindful and Toned Pilate class for more than four months now and I can't speak highly enough about her classes. Charlene is very inspiring, very well informed, very detail-oriented and patient with new students and gives you an incredible workout. At the same time, she offers a meditation section at the beginning or the end of the class, with the unique calmness around her, you always feel refreshed and grounded after her class. She has years of experience and she tailors each class to meet your needs and helps make sure you get the best out of your Mindful and Tones Pilate Class...

First of all THANK YOU CHARLENE for inspiring me to get me to the mat and all your words of encouragement. I've done several group Pilates mat sessions via zoom during lockdown. She focuses on each participant and is very hands on. She asks questions in regards to safety measures to see what each person would like to work on or if you have any previous injuries.
