At Total Body Pilates, we are dedicated to providing a unique and personalized Pilates experience that transforms your body and empowers your mind. Founded in 1999 by Master Pilates Instructor, Erica Lukes, our studio has been a pioneer in the Pilates industry, training the "Hollywood elite" and professional athletes, as well as helping countless individuals achieve life-changing results.
Our Mission
We believe that Pilates should be taught by qualified teachers who have a solid foundation in the original work of Joseph H. Pilates and a deep understanding of anatomy and kinesiology. That's why our instructors are trained to provide a supportive and judgment-free environment that empowers our clients to find their inner strengths and celebrate their uniqueness. Our approach is centered on the principles of "Contrology", the exercise program pioneered by Joseph H. Pilates, which focuses on developing a balanced musculoskeletal system for strong, toned muscles, flexibility, and agility.
