Jessica Sterns is the lead instructor at Sterns Pilates with over 17 years of experience, she practice a hands-on approach to Pilates instruction and therapeutic movement. The foundation of her work is based on the teachings of Joseph Pilates and research-based functional movement. 

'Hands-on' literally means that- Jessica is a licensed Massage Therapist and does manual work on all clients that request it. So think of your session as Pilates and Massage!

Sterns Pilates & Bodywork offers sessions in a private 400 square-foot studio. This space offers one-on-one Pilates and functional movement and manual therapy. 

All sessions integrate full-body conditioning with an emphasis on core stability and breathing correctly.

She utilizes the Pilates Reformer, Pilates Corealign machine, Pilates chair, yoga wall, mat work, and Pilates tower to facilitate integrative movement. Also available in my studio: Rogue landmine, a Matrix free-weight pulley machine, and an assortment of weights, kettlebells, slam and medicine balls.

The Postural Restoration Institute’s (PRI) science-based assessments and exercises are deeply referenced in my teaching. PRI takes into consideration the body’s asymmetry, postural adaptations, tri-planar movement and how chains of muscles influence each other.
