Move Better.
Build Strength.
Decrease Pain.
Pilates education for clients and instructors.
Movement makes more sense when you understand the why.
Pilates isn't just a series of exercises to memorize.
It's a way to learn about your body.
My approach combines Pilates, anatomy, biomechanics, and years of teaching experience to help you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how to adapt movement to the person in front of you.
Whether you're a client learning to trust your body or an instructor learning to trust your teaching, my goal is the same: help you become more confident in how you move and how you think about movement.

What makes working with Laura Melgar different?
I’ve worked in the medical field and have navigated the medical system as a patient. I’ve experienced significant injuries and pain, some of which even required surgery. I’ve felt the despair and heavy emotions that accompany chronic pain. I’ve experienced the ripple effect that pain has on the day to day routine of life. I’ve spent countless hours over the course of years seeking solutions only to be told there wasn’t one and to give up living an active life. I’ve lived limited, knowing in my gut that there had to be a better option available. I wasn’t ready to call it quits, so I created my own answer.
