At Paonia Pilates, we offer private, semi-private, and group mat classes in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Everyone receives personalized guidance and encouragement, helping you build strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence in your movement. Our times together are focused, challenging, and enjoyable, designed to improve strength, posture, coordination and quality of everyday movement.

"I have been practicing Pilates for twenty years and have had orthopedic surgeries and am a nine month breast cancer survivor. Laurene has been with me throughout much of my journey, she has guided me in helping me restore my mobility, rebuild muscular strength, and reduce chronic pain from treatment. With her knowledge, and directions along with her warm way of encouragement, I feel so grateful for Pilates, it is a way of life for me, and Laurene is the best!”
"Laurene’s pilates classes and sessions have been great for me. She leads a complete workout while keeping things interesting and providing useful feedback. In the 3 years that I’ve been working with her I have grown much stronger and now stand up straighter without having to think about it."
"Laurene is knowledgeable, observant and she listens. I have taken mat classes and individual classes with Laurene and appreciate how she meets me where I am while helping me grow stronger and more capable. She is also a hoot and loves to laugh!"
