Pull the Pedal Up!

It’s not just about getting the pedal off the ground, but HOW you do it.

Round your back. Press down with your arms and legs, to lift up with a strong center. Press down to lift up!

DO NOT PIKE YOUR HIPS AND LIFT YOUR TAILBONE.

I’m on a Legacy Wunda Chair with one middle and one low spring. Obviously, the lower the spring the more challenging the exercise. But too much spring, and you could launch yourself - or your client - over the top of the chair. Always spot!

The spring should be challenging enough that you have to find the correct technique to lift the pedal - not so heavy that the spring does all the work.

What are your tips for this exercise?

What does a private Pilates lesson really look like?

✔️It’s a teacher who is constantly observing the way you move through the work.

✔️It’s noticing that while some muscles are working overtime, others should be doing their share.

✔️It’s a small adjustment through touch or an imagery cue that suddenly helps an exercise click.

✔️It’s knowing when to challenge you with a new exercise - and when your body needs more time with the ones it’s already learning.

✔️Every exercise has a place.
✔️Every adjustment has a reason.
✔️Every lesson is built around the person in front of me.

✔️Private Pilates isn’t just a workout. It’s an opportunity to better understand your body and learn to move from your center with greater strength and control.

Whether your goal is to get stronger, recover from an injury, improve athletic performance, or simply move through life with more ease, the lesson is designed specifically for you.

That’s what you’ll find at Pilates Hale Maui: thoughtful Classical Pilates that meets you where you are and helps you move to where you want to go.

✨Curious what a private Pilates lesson feels like? I’d love to welcome you into the studio.

Have you ever had a Pilates lesson with me? If so, surprised you most?

Every studio has a story. Here’s mine.

🤍Dance was my first love. After earning my BFA in Dance from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, I spent years dancing professionally with acclaimed choreographers from around the country.

🤍Pilates entered my life as a way to become a stronger and smarter dancer. What started out as cross-training quickly became an obsession - and ultimately my life’s work.

🤍I became certified immediately after college and have been teaching ever since. Along the way, I founded Pilates on 10th in Seattle, which is still thriving today.

🤍Wanting an even deeper understanding of the human body, I earned a massage therapy degree with a focus on injury treatment and deep tissue work. That education continues to shape the way I teach today.

🤍As a Peak Pilates Master Instructor, I had the privilege of training future Pilates teachers in both Seattle and Maui.

🤍Eleven years ago, Lahaina, Maui became home. Today Pilates Hale Maui is where I share authentic Classical Pilates with people of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. My goal is simple: to guide every student to move with greater strength, confidence, and ease.

🤍Teaching Pilates is what I love. I am grateful to do the work I love, in a community I love, serving both locals and visitors alike.

🤍Every person who walks through my door has a story. I can’t wait to hear yours.

See you at the studio.
🤍Amie

Pilates Hale Maui might not be the fit for everyone - and that’s okay.

If you’re looking for a quick workout, a crowded Reformer class, or simply the lowest price, we’re probably not the studio for you.

But if you’re looking for Pilates as it was designed to be taught - with intention, precision, and a deep understanding of the method - you’ve found the right place.

Here’s what I believe:

✨Not all Pilates is the same.
There are many versions of Pilates being taught today. I believe in honoring the original method which means understanding each exercise entirely, where it belongs in the system, and how to progress towards it safely for every individual body, all while maintaining a fluid pace. This is a workout. You will get sweaty!

✨Your body deserves more than a one-size-fits-all workout.
A fully equipped studio offers much more than a room full of Reformers. Every piece of equipment has a purpose. Rather than teaching the same workout to 5 - 10 people at the same time, my goal is to help you learn YOUR Pilates practice - one that meets your body where it is and grows with you. Eventually, you’ll have the confidence to work independently in our Open Studio sessions.

✨Experience matters.
I’ve been practicing Pilates since the mid-1990’s. I owned a successful Pilates studio in Seattle for 14 years, taught teacher training programs, and continue to study, take lessons, attend workshops, and challenge myself as a student. The Pilates Method is something I hold with great respect, and I never stop learning because my students deserve my very best.

Over the years, I’ve watched my students become stronger, recover from injuries, move without pain, and discover what their bodies are truly capable of. That’s why I continue this work with the same passion today.

✨Learning is an investment.
Private Lessons require both time and financial commitment, especially in the beginning. That individual attention builds a foundation that allows you to move confidently and safely for years to come. At Pilates Hale Maui, we offer kama’aina rates and a sliding scale because I want quality instruction to be accessible. Let’s talk about what works for you.

If this philosophy resonates with you - if you are looking for personalized instruction, thoughtful progression, and a studio that values quality over trends - I would love to meet you.

Book online through the link on our profile page or send me a DM. I can’t wait to welcome you to Pilates Hale Maui.
