Pilates Vita offers high quality training in the authentic Pilates Method.  Only those who have completed an extensive certification program, consisting of over years of apprenticeship, will be accepted to teach at this studio.  That’s why it is necessary for each teacher to go through the entire system of over 500 exercises, modifications, variations, to prevent injuries, to handle current ones, to understand physical limitations, to know the safety on the equipment, and the most important thing: To know how to adjust to different people. Like everything in nature, each person's body is different.  Each of our instructors must keep up with their training by attending Continuing Education courses, conferences, and taking sessions from master teachers.

Patricia A. RobinsonPatricia.jpg

I am a certified Pilates instructor and a Pilates Method Alliance member, with extensive training in Classic Pilates and other Pilates methods over the years. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where I studied dance, the arts, and received a degree in journalism. Through my years in these fields, I have developed a passion for body movement, nutrition and natural cures. After several courses and workshops, in 1993 I took an extensive education program in a Natural Body Therapy, specializing in Holistic Healing and Nutrition. This work and dedication definitely changed my life in many ways.
 
In 2000, in Rio, I had my first contact with the Pilates Method, and since then it has always been a part of my life. Pilates for me, is a healing process, a work out, and most importantly a pleasure of helping people to feel better with their body. The introduction of Pilates to my life, complemented my existing knowledge and experiences related to healing the body. In 2002, when I first moved to the US, to Manhattan, I went to practice in 3 different Studios. At that time, I had the chance to learn with a wonderful Master teacher, Ludovine Krenwisky that was visiting from Europe. In 2003, I moved to San Francisco where I continued my Pilates training. In 2005, in Scottsdale Arizona, I dedicated most of my time to Pilates. And after moving to Denver in 2008, I took one more certification course and decided to open my own Studio. I really enjoy learning more everyday and keep updating my knowledge with new exercises from different Pilates lines, and by getting all the recent information in special Pilates method for injuries and medical issues such as Scoliosis, sciatic, neck and knee problems. I also recently received special certification in Pilates for during Pregnancy and Post Partum, with the most recognized master in the area: Carolyn Anthony. 
 
I am a true believer in the Pilates Method, which I have been practicing for over 11 years now. It has had such a positive impact on my body, mind, and life. I know it will for you as well!! 

Whether this is an initial introduction to Pilates in your life, or you have already experienced the joy of the practice, I would greatly enjoy being your teacher in this life changing journey.
