Hello! I’m Elisha. One of the teachers and the owner here at Nephesh Pilates.
To say that I love Pilates might be the understatement of the century.
What I love most? Introducing people to all the amazing things that their body can do that they probably didn’t think they were capable of. I would categorize myself as a motivational teacher. It’s not about all the things you’re doing wrong. It’s about all the great things that are happening in your workout.
When I’m not at the studio, you can find me cheering on my kids at their sporting events, walking our neighborhood with my husband and golden retriever, or cooking yummy meals in the kitchen. Oh and definitely reading a fantasy novel or two.
I teach on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at the studio. I’d love for you to come join me!
XO Elisha

There is no template for how a woman should live in her body or her life.
But it’s easy to forget that.
Most of us spend years moving through roles… mom, partner, professional, caregiver, volunteer. None of those things are wrong. They’re meaningful. They matter. But somewhere along the way it’s easy to lose sight of the person inside them.
The fitness world doesn’t help much either.
It quietly suggests there’s a right body to have.
A right way to work out.
A right timeline.
A right level of ability.
A right version of you to become.
That’s not what we do at Nephesh.
Pilates here isn’t about doing the exercises “right” or looking a certain way. It’s about building a relationship with your body so you can move through your life with more confidence and clarity about who you are.
Not a template.
A practice that’s yours. ✨

Over the years, I’ve heard the same sentence from almost every woman at the studio:
“I wish I had learned about Pilates earlier.”
Earlier in my life.
Earlier in my body.
Earlier for the sake of my relationship with my body.
So this summer we’re trying something new at Nephesh.
I’m starting a small weekly Pilates class for teen girls (ages 13-15).
The goal isn’t to “work out.” It’s to help them:
• feel strong in their bodies
• move with confidence
• improve posture and coordination
• learn what they’re capable of
And maybe most importantly… to feel comfortable in a body that’s changing quickly.
Classes will be small and guided, just like everything we do here.
If you have a daughter (or know someone who does) who might benefit, send me a message and I’ll share the details.
