Hi! I'm Anita of Explore Pilates👋🏼
Welcome to my YouTube channel! I post exercises that I assign to my clients as homework. I love both traditional Pilates and functional movement. These help students —and myself— progress to more advanced levels of the Pilates work🏋️♀️
Pilates is the best mobility workout. It strengthens and stretches you in unique ways. Here's the kicker: it's not just for a long and lean physique (advertising created this myth)! Pilates is great for your mind because it constantly challenges you in unexpected ways. Pilates supports me in the tough job of being a Mom.
I own a home studio with classical Pilates equipment in 📍 Bloomington, Indiana, and I also teach online 💻. I am a classically trained musician, I speak Italian and Spanish, and don't get me started on family recipes 👩🏻🍳 or my cat 😺 (spoiler alert: I think he's adorable)!
Try out a video (or three) and let me know how it goes 📩
✨ Let's keep in touch:

Yay, we made it to 2026! Happy New Year 🎊
Pic 1: 2026 started with a gorgeous sunset!
Pic 2: I played along with one of those word puzzles, where you state the first 4 words that you find. These sound great!
Pic 3: So the holidays might be over, but these lights might be staying on...
I hope you are doing great. Let's get back to Pilates workouts!

I'm glad that my years of studying classical music are reflected in my YouTube choices. As for cooking and dancing, yes, that is totally me. Definitely the cooking part.

Soul On Fire is such an incredible story. I saw it this evening and imwas touched deeply by its message of hope. I had a heart-tugging conversation with someone this afternoon and I kept thinking about them and how this film spoke exactly to what we had talked about.
Life is funny like that. We are all connected in unexpected and deep ways. John O'Leary was burned when he was nine. I was the same age when I had surgery and had to learn to breathe again.
The gifts from that time mean so much more now that I am a parent.

Overheard in the studio today.
Ok, actually, if you see my eyes glaze over, I am probably trying to solve a Pilates/movement puzzle.
I'm honoured when my creativity is appreciated in comments such as these.
