Why Pilates?
Julie began Pilates in 2019, but fast-paced contemporary classes often aggravated her back and sciatic pain. During a trip to Korea, she discovered classical Pilates and found the grounding, mindful movement her body needed. Since then, Pilates has strengthened her from head to toe and consistently eased her pain.
In 2024, Julie recommitted to a regular practice and began teacher training, deepening her focus, mindfulness, and mind–body connection. She loves helping and teaching others feel the power of that mind–body connection through Pilates—just as it has impacted her own life—and is passionate about sharing the Contrology method and its core principles: Control, Concentration, Center, Precision, Breath, and Flow.
