Class Types

Pilar leads public group classes in the styles of Vinyasa Flow, Slow Flow, Yin, Modo, Modo Flow, Yang/Yin, and Hot Flow. She's known for leading classes that leave participants feeling empowered while exploring an appropriate degree of challenge. Clear instruction and functional cueing for skillful movement makes for an accessible yet inspiring practice for all experience levels. 

She believes that anyone can participate in a yoga practice. Whether it's discovering a thread of mindfulness through the stillness of Yin, the flow of movement with breath through Vinyasa, or anywhere in between, yoga can be a transformational practice.

*Physical Therapy services are rendered only in a clinical setting to those who have received an evaluation from a Physical Therapist and under the supervision of a PT. Yoga with Pilar does not constitute physical therapy or any form of medical treatment.
