OUR STORY

YOUR MAT PILATES @ HOME SPECIALIST
The personalization of a home pilates practice brings with it ease and flexibility to ensure you routinely return to your mat. Additionally, the mind body connection can be easier to access in the privacy of your home. This empowers you to choose the exercise variation that is best for your body each time you practice.
EQUIPMENT
All you need is yourself, clothing you can comfortably move in, and a mat. Some things you already have in your home, for example a wall, can be utilized to increase the integrity of the exercises. Other small pieces of equipment like bands, balls, and blocks can add variety to your practice while fostering bodily awareness. Alternatives for any equipment will be reviewed.
LAURA TUJAK, HEALTHY HABITS FOUNDER
I have been practicing mat pilates for over 20 years. Despite being someone who was scared to enter my college's gym, I was drawn to the convenience of a home practice and kept returning to the idea of being a pilates teacher. As a home fitness enthusiast whose meditational skills are lacking, pilates serves as my daily moving meditation while correcting muscular imbalances arising from scoliosis. My practice varies from restorative to more vigorous as I meet my body where it is each day. This allows me to perform optimally as a mother and optometrist while keeping with an eye towards healthy aging.
