    There is a direct link between core strength, rotation and swing‑specific strength:

    • Core strength is foundational to the golf swing, connecting upper and lower body and generating power.

    • Rotational power comes from the core and is essential for clubhead speed and distance.

    • A strong, stable core improves balance, consistency, and energy transfer in the swing.

  • Yes, I’m a STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor Trainer in Intensive Matwork and Comprehensive Reformer—and STOTT PILATES® trained in Cadillac and Barrels.

We start by covering the 5 Basic Principles of STOTT PILATES®, understand your health history, strength, any limitations, and your goals. I’ll take a look at your posture and movement to design sessions with exercises that meet you where you are.

    From there, we build strength and body awareness step-by-step — starting with simple, foundational exercises and progressing to more complex work as you grow more confident in form. I suggest getting a package of sessions so we can work together, and you can grow in your understanding of your own body awareness, and strength over time. My goal is to help you feel supported, capable, and grounded every time you walk into the studio.
