“Joseph Pilates taught Jay Grimes and Jay Grimes taught me. Pilates is truly a gift and I’m honored to share it. I believe that Classical Pilates will give you the physical body you want, the mental clarity you crave, and an uplifted spirit allowing you to feel more like YOU.”

Nicole values quality above all in everything. She also values simplicity, authenticity, self-development, community, curiosity, discovery, and fun. Pilates offers all of these things and more. The studio is fully equipped, offering The Contrology Line designed by Jay Grimes and Gratz equipment. 

Her clients range in age from 12 to 76. She works with athletes, other Pilates instructors, those recovering from injury, expecting and new moms, and, of course, those who just want a really good workout. Nicole found the Pilates Method while living in San Francisco, and it has drastically changed her body and how she moves for the better. And now, since the birth of her daughter in 2014, she relies on The Method more than ever to keep strong and feel good in her own skin.

Her first certification was Classical and given by Hope Petrine of Romana’s Pilates, completed in 2008. She was accepted into The Work, a Pilates graduate program held at Vintage Pilates in Los Angeles, in 2016. The Work was a highly selective program, only choosing 80 graduates in total worldwide over the course of 6 years. She was honored to learn from a student of Joseph Pilates himself, Jay Grimes. In addition to learning from the directors Sandy Shimoda and Karen Frischmann. 

She also has a BA in Anthropology from San Francisco State and a K-6 teaching credential from the University of Colorado. hello@ritualpilates.com
