We teach the original Pilates exercises as they were intended to be taught… on the equipment designed by Joseph Pilates himself.
Why is this important? Joseph Pilates designed both the exercise system and the equipment to be used together, as specified. Contemporary Pilates equipment can have significantly different geometry and functionality that does not work in harmony with the movements and intentions of the authentic Classical Pilates system. Doing the original exercises on the correct equipment is an experience like no other, and it will produce results in safe and time-tested manner.
Come and feel the difference of the authentic method.
"This is not a “one size fits all program” - it is highly tailored and customized to your specific needs. “
Results! I recently started seeing Risa at Boditree Pilates and am incredibly happy with my results after only three sessions.
I have always been an athlete, but had not taken the time to ensure I was maintaining or increasing my mobility. By working at a desk for long hours everyday, the issues compounded and I developed a neck twitch that happened once per week and then escalated to multiple times a day.
Risa took the time to understand my movement and posture, developed a customized plan and in only three sessions my twitch has drastically improved. Im gaining more awareness of my posture, how I move my body and what exercises I specifically need to work on to continue improving. This is not a “one size fits all program” it is highly tailored and customized to your specific needs.
Risa has been teaching classical Pilates for over two decades and has a wealth of knowledge. Her expertise and command of the subject is very impressive.
She’s fun, energetic and reminds me of some of my favourite coaches and teachers growing up - has high expectations for herself, her studio and believes in your ability to be the best version of yourself. It’s motivating.
Thank you Risa and team!

"Accessed more powerhouse connection and ribcage movement than I have in years.”
Spectacular private with Risa at Boditree today- many lightbulb moments! Accessed more powerhouse connection and ribcage movement than I have in years. Bravo Risa - your attention to detail and optimal alignment and connection for the individual is rare. I highly recommend this studio for a true classical Pilates experience. 💥

"Try Boditree and develop an understanding of how to actually move. “
It’s hard for someone to understand how transformative good judgement & good understanding are until one has worked with a person like Risa. Risa could have been top 1% or top 0.1% at pretty much anything — she has the kind of intellect you only come across once every several hundred people. Fortunately for us, the career she chose was classical Pilates, so we get to see her talent applied to our wellbeing as individuals. Try Boditree and develop an understanding of how to actually move. You’ll also develop an understanding of the power of intuition and meticulousness. (Don’t mind the intense personality — it comes with just as intense a care for her clients.)
Her intuition and meticulousness also apply to how she chooses and trains her staff. You’re in good hands with anyone here.
