About Us

“As a Pilates instructor, I have learned from a lot of teachers. Erin is the best! She has a keen eye and a powerful understanding of human movement. She is smart, committed, fun, and most importantly, kind. She is a gifted teacher with dedicated students demonstrating proven results. I greatly enjoy my lessons with Erin and I look forward to more.”

“Erin is an excellent teacher of Pilates. She thoroughly understands the Pilates method as well as how to cue a student to get the most from each exercise. Also, Erin’s knowledge of posture and movement has helped me so much to integrate Pilates principles into my everyday life.”

“Studio 19 Pilates is a boutique, light-filled studio offering instruction in the classical pilates tradition. Erin, the owner, delivers the classical repertoire with confidence and grace. She holds her students to the highest standards and each week offers fresh insight into the breath, articulation or flow. I’ve been a student of Erin’s for nearly ten years. I always leave the studio feeling challenged and conditioned, yet simultaneously energized and with a sense of inner calm. The studio is equipped with Peak and authentic Gratz equipment. The design and careful proportions of these machines allows you to build strength and control with amazing efficiency and to truly connect body and springs as Pilates, himself, intended.”

I started working with Erin in her Vancouver studio about 5 years ago. When the pandemic hit we moved our weekly lessons online. Erin has seen me through injury and illness (vertigo) and adapts my lessons so that I continue to strengthen my body despite my challenges. Erin is extraordinarily knowledgeable and kind. She considers all my “why” questions and answers them thoroughly such that I better understand my own Pilates practice. Depending on my concerns for the week, Erin adjusts the lesson. I always feel heard and cared for. She offers me areas to concentrate on between our sessions and I feel encouraged to try out what she suggests. Before the pandemic, I saw Erin in the studio and worked on the reformer. My home practice was spotty, at best. Since starting weekly lessons on Zoom in my own home with my equipment, my home practice has become more disciplined and I have advanced. It has made such a difference to have Erin in my home (via Zoom). I highly recommend Erin to anyone wanting to strengthen their body with the help of a gentle, encouraging and knowledgeable teacher.

We have worked with Erin for several years. The Pilates sessions are always challenging and enjoyable with lots of variety. She is a great professional teacher, always positive and cheerful and a real pleasure to work with. She has our highest recommendation.
