My Class Style:
I teach a Pilates class with a strong focus on body awareness and attunement. I like to incorporate somatic tools and movements that also just feel good on the body. It’s a challenging exploration that allows for self-empowerment by equipping students with the tools to adjust and listen to the needs of their body on any given day.
I was that kid who could never sit still and have always expressed through movement. I started Pilates at a young age alongside my development in dance and am fortunate that both have continued into my adult years. Being raised by a Mexican mother and Japanese father, I learned the importance of believing in self and equality and art as protest continues to be at the forefront of my life. More recently I’ve also dived into the martial arts world through Muay Thai so really all I do is MOVE!
