Beth Sterne, Owner and certified Pilates instructor I am Beth Sterne, certified Pilates instructor and the owner of Classical Pilates.  I invite you to change your body and overall wellbeing by trying Pilates.  Whether you experience Pilates on the apparatus in a one-on-one session with me or try a group mat class, through consistent work (at least 2x per week), I guarantee that you will feel dramatically different and notice dramatic changes in your appearance.  I offer introductory specials because I feel so strongly that getting people in and moving is classical pilates’ best advertisement. How I started I started taking mat classes a couple of times a week and got hooked on Pilates because of the way it made me feel.  I have played sports all my life and had some muscles that were tight and overdeveloped.  Before I started Pilates, I was experiencing lower back pain, and when I was under a lot of stress, I felt extreme tightness and pain in my shoulders and neck.  Pilates instantly relieved this pain.  I was converted!  I soon noticed improvement in my posture.  My muscles were becoming more defined.  The changes were subtle in terms of inches but dramatic in terms of overall appearance.  I appeared taller, stronger and more confident.  My strength, flexibility and muscle tone as well as overall body awareness and concentration started to dramatically increase.  I wanted to learn more about this life changing method. My Training I am certified by Power Pilates in New York City.  Power Pilates is committed to teaching the “classical” approach to Pilates as it is laid out in the teachings of Joseph Pilates.  I trained under Bob Liekens and Susan Moran, two of the most highly esteemed teachers in the Pilates profession. My Teaching I started studying Pilates over 10 years ago in Atlanta, GA before moving to New York City where I taught for several years for Power Pilates.  I moved to Charleston to open my studio to bring the exciting benefits of Pilates to this area. I have seen the benefits Pilates has had on many different types of clients.  I have taught teens to elderly men and women alike.  I have taught healthy clients as well as clients with back and neck pain, scoliosis, pregnancy, fibromyalgia, ankylosing spondylitis, and various chronic joint and neuromuscular injuries.  I have seen in these clients the miraculous benefits of a committed Pilates practice.

My Mission Joseph Pilates’ goal was to improve the overall health of society and wanted a Pilates studio on every block.  In NYC today, there is a studio on almost every block.  My experience teaching in NYC was invaluable, and now I am so excited to bring this experience to Charleston.  This studio’s mission is to carry on the “classical method” -  Pilates as intended by it’s creator, Joseph Pilates.  He said, "Health is a normal condition; it is our duty not only to attain it but to maintain it."   Whether you are experienced in Pilates or trying it out for the first time, I am confident that with consistent work on the apparatus and/or mat classes, you will feel better and see noticeable differences in your body.
