Thank you KH for the insightful review! “SAC is unlike any Pilates experience I have ever had. It is much more than exercise—it has become a journey of reconnecting with my body and mind. After many years of practicing yoga, I realized I had never truly listened to and explored my body in this way.
I am 57 years old, and this practice has helped me discover that my body still has so much potential for strength, growth, and transformation. After struggling with lower back pain and limited flexibility for a long time, I have experienced significant improvement and a deeper understanding of how to use my body. Every session brings new awareness, discoveries, and moments of joy. The exercises are challenging, but they are also deeply rewarding.
Dru is a wonderful instructor—knowledgeable, passionate, and truly attentive to my individual needs. Her positive energy, encouragement, and thoughtful guidance always make me feel supported and motivated. I am so grateful to have found Dru and look forward to continuing this journey of discovering my own potential.
It is never too late to create a new relationship with your body!”

Pilates “head tensometer or neck stretcher” - I love the small accessory pieces that Joe invented to compliment his method of Contrology!
