A practice built around you.

Whether it's your first session or your first in years, we'll start where you are. I'm Jennifer Baker, a STOTT PILATES® Certified Instructor (Level 1 Mat and Reformer), and I teach private and duet reformer sessions only, so every session gets my full attention and is shaped around you: how you move, how you breathe, and what you'd like your body to do for you in the years ahead.

I teach at Pacific Northwest Pilates in Southwest Portland, by appointment. We'll build strength and alignment step by step.

What a session is like

Every session is one-on-one, or a duet with a friend or partner. In our first session, we start with a conversation about your goals, experience, and any concerns. Then I introduce the equipment, set it up for you, and teach foundational movements at a pace that feels right, so you leave knowing what you did and why.

Beginners learn the equipment without feeling rushed. Returning clients rebuild from wherever they are today.

About Jennifer

I first came to Pilates more than 20 years ago, when long hours at a desk left me looking for a way to ease pain and stiffness and feel stronger in my body. Pilates has since helped me rebuild confidence and reconnect with my body, and I bring that experience, along with the care and attention I developed as a corporate attorney, to every client I teach.

The studio

Sessions take place at Pacific Northwest Pilates in Southwest Portland, a studio that has been part of the city's Pilates community since 2001. The main room is bright, with large windows, natural light, and STOTT PILATES® equipment, and the studio welcomes people of every age, background, and ability.
