About Penny
I'm Penny — a private Pilates instructor based in Ottawa. My practice is intentionally small, deeply personal, and built on the belief that movement should make your whole week feel better.
I came to Pilates the way many people do — by way of injury, frustration, and a quiet curiosity about how the body could feel better. What started as my own recovery slowly became a calling. Today, I work with a small group of clients I know by name, by posture, and by what their week looks like.
Comprehensively certified through STOTT Pilates and Body Harmonics, with ongoing study in pre/post-natal training, injury rehabilitation, and Franklin Method imagery. I believe in being a perpetual student — there is always more to understand about how a person moves.
Quiet, considered, never rushed. Every session begins with a check-in and ends knowing more about your body than when we started. I cue with my hands as much as my words. There's no pushing through — only finding the next honest movement.
It taught me that strength isn't loud, and that consistency beats intensity every time. I want that for you, too. Not a workout you dread, but a practice you look forward to — one that quietly rebuilds you, week by week.
