Classical Pilates just
got Celestial.
Since childhood, movement has been the thread connecting Celeste’s life, creativity, and focus. Her journey began with dance and a lifelong curiosity about the human body, eventually leading her into Pilates, therapeutic massage, rehabilitative fitness, and movement education.
As a comprehensively certified Pilates teacher, GYROTONIC® instructor, and movement specialist, Celeste has spent years studying how the body adapts, heals, strengthens, and transforms. Over the decades, she has been trained in all classical Pilates apparatus, advanced massage therapy, GYROTONIC® levels I & II as well as specialized equipment, all forms of dance and group fitness, rehabilitative and integrative exercise, and a deep dive into anatomy, alignment, and the relationship between movement and overall well-being.
For Celeste, movement has always been about more than exercise. In fact, it has been therapeutic.
Throughout her career, she has witnessed how the body holds our experiences, patterns, emotions, and stories. True strength is not simply about pushing harder; it is about creating a deeper relationship with yourself, learning to listen, and building trust within your own body.
Her approach blends precision with creativity, structure with intuition, and strength with softness. Each session is thoughtfully designed to meet people where they are, helping them move with greater awareness, more confidence, and a deeper connection.

"I worked with Celeste during my first pregnancy. She and I immediately clicked...I love her teaching style. She was able to push me and be safe in terms of pregnancy guidelines. I had a smooth labor and recovery in large part because of her. My body snapped back into place. As soon as my doctor said I could, I ran back to the reformer to work with Celeste.”
— Lauren S. Blum, journalist, screenwriter, mom"Celeste has been training me in Pilates since 2018. Overall, she dramatically improved the quality of my life after my joint replacements and helped me regain the strength I had as a young man. Her expertise in the Pilates method is world class, and for me, she has been a godsend. Warning: when she says ‘just lie down here on the reformer with your feet that way‘ that doesn’t mean you are going to relax."
— John Yearwood, PhD, author, professor“I returned to surfing after a year away — in which I focused on doing Pilates [with Celeste] — and went back to the waves feeling stronger than I had in the past. I paddled out to sea without any of the arm strain I felt before, then stood up on the board with more ease and balance, and rode the waves with more confidence than ever!"
