Why train with Bar

One-on-one sessions built around how you move

People come to me with knee, back, and pelvic pain, because they want to tone and feel stronger, or because they're instructors who want to go deeper. In the first session, I look for where your body is compensating, so we can work on what's really behind it.

  • Personalized instruction based on your goals and movement patterns.
  • Close attention to alignment, breathing, and control.
  • Rooted in Classical Pilates principles.
  • Progressive learning. Each session builds on the last.
  • A balance between physical challenge and intelligent movement.
  • A deeper understanding of how your body moves.

The experience

In Classical Pilates, the exercises stay the same, and your body changes.

  1. Understand your body

    Develop awareness of your movement patterns and learn to move with greater intention.

  2. Build strength through control

    Develop strength, stability, coordination, and mobility through the Classical Pilates method.

  3. Make every movement count

    Experience purposeful sessions where precision and progression matter more than simply completing repetitions.

What to expect in your first session

We start with an assessment. I build a plan for you based on the physical assessment and a questionnaire, and then we start working. As we go, we see the change, and I adjust your plan every week.

  • Assessment
  • A plan built for you
  • Adjusted every week

Hi, I'm Bar.

I'm a Classical Pilates instructor and educator based in St. Petersburg, Florida.

For me, Pilates has always been about more than completing an exercise.

It's about understanding movement, developing control, and discovering the connections that make the method so powerful.

My approach combines years of teaching experience with a deep interest in anatomy, biomechanics, and the original Classical Pilates system.

Whether you're beginning your Pilates journey or you're an instructor looking to deepen your knowledge, my goal is to help you understand not only how to move, but why.

Connection. Precision. Energy.

Real people. Real experiences.

Bar is my absolute favorite trainer i have ever had. She not only prioritizes form, but makes sure you utilize every muscle needed. I am so happy I found her and she is never getting rid of me. She took the time to get to know me and my body to know what my specific goals were. I leave every session feeling so refreshed, stretched and strong. I can't wait to continue with her and be the strongest version of myself. She makes me want to be better!
