Pilates mat work focuses on lengthening and strengthening your muscles in a low impact manner. It works the deepest layer of muscles to promote spine mobility, core stability and improve posture.  Pilates Mat classes are held at Creative Connections Art Gallery.

Private sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals.  A Fitness Assessment is done on each client to identify and design a program to meet those needs.  Whether you are recovering from injury, dealing with a chronic injury or looking to achieve the precision and depth of Pilates, Private lessons are ideal.

Meet Kelley

My name is Kelley O’Connor and I am a Physical Therapist Assistant and Certified Pilates Instructor. I  have over 17 years of Physical Therapy experience in Orthopedics with a concentration in sports related injuries.

 

I began my Pilates journey 14 years ago teaching Mat classes while still working as a PT Assistant.  My passion grew, and I eventually became comprehensively certified in all Pilates equipment.

Ten years ago I took the leap into Pilates full time and have never looked back.  The strong connection Pilates and PT share is what drove my desire to learn and expand my knowledge in the practice of Pilates. I hold 3 Pilates Certifications through Balanced Body, Power Pilates, and recently Polestar Pilates as a Rehabilitation Practitioner, bringing the world of rehab & pilates together. 

 

My specialty is working with clients who’ve had previous or current injuries looking to regain strength and core stability in a safe and practical manner.  I perform a Fitness Assessment on each client, designing sessions based on their needs and goals.  My approach is a fusion of Physical Therapy and Pilates with the goal of providing a positive movement experience and improving quality of movement both in & outside the studio.

 

Pilates is such an effective way for clients to gain mobility and strength.  I’ve watched people overcome significant injuries to become strong, healthy individuals through Pilates work.
