Teaching the work of Joseph Pilates as he created it with the why and how of the full body of work. I also include the work of Kathy Grant and her Before the Hundred work. Her tools along with the original work of Joseph Pilates is a true journey of the Pilates Method “Contrology”.

About Hilary Opheim

My Pilates journey started with my original training with John Gossett in Houston, Texas. After teaching Pilates for 10 years I opened up my own studio in January of 2005 and I have continued my journey of learning and practicing Pilates as a teacher and as a student. I am also the founder and director of the Hilary Opheim Teacher Training Program and I truly enjoy sharing the passion of teaching with those that want to become teachers.
