  • I LOVE M8! The classes are the perfect size for the instructors to give the individual attention that is so important in Pilates. The instructors are creative in planning the classes--no two are ever the same. I cannot believe how much stronger I am after joining M8. I give it a "high 5" for sure!!

See what works for you - this little 5 Immune Boosters is my ‘go to’ when I sense the little buggers getting too close to my happy little cells.


What is BEMER?

Fast forward to this year, fifteen years later. We still eat well, and we still do Pilates. But we were feeling our bodies, more slow...less vibrant...okay, maybe the Pandemic can be the blame? But maybe not.

My Story from Dance

I became a Pilates Teacher in the late '90's, sort of by necessity at first. I had just accepted a Principal Ballet position for San Diego Ballet, but my foot was in a boot and I was trying to recover from foot surgery...
