Yes, exercise can be smarter.

This  is mentally engaging, because your brain needs exercise too.

Here, we build a smarter kind of strength, because power is best when it's adaptive, flexible, and efficient. Getting to the WOW which Pilates is famous for, is first, a process of reconnecting with the ORIGIN of your very core.

I promise you, it isn't what you think. It is more. So much more.

Renata Marsal

Comprehensive Rehabilitative Pilates Certification

STOTT PILATES®, Total Barre®


STUDIO ORIGIN’s owner, Renata, defying age and health stereotypes performing the advanced Pilates Arabesque with ease.

For over 20 years, Renata has had the pleasure of working with clients, as well as in close collaboration with healthcare providers to address unique client/patient needs, earning  a reputation for creative teaching styles, and uniquely solid results.

 

Renata first came to Pilates at the age of 19, when a dancer's knee injury was unresponsive to the typical rehab of the time, and a choreographer insisted she "get Pilates immediately." It was love at first core exercise. Many years later, Pilates was essential when she was facing a debilitating battle with stage-4 endometriosis. Discovering a science-based approach to Pilates, STOTT Pilates, she has not looked back! Even after years of multiple abdominal surgeries and chronic pain, she recovered far quicker and stronger than any of her medical team expected, and she was motivated to share with others the restorative value of Contemporary Pilates.

  

Renata is fortunate to have trained over the years with many of the field's groundbreaking leaders. Additionally, anatomy professors, researchers, and medical professionals have all contributed to the knowledge she brings to her studio. 

 

Ultimately Renata earned the prestigious STOTT PILATES® Comprehensive Rehabilitative Certification thru Pacific Northwest Pilates, where she studied extensively with pioneering Master Instructor Trainer Melanie Byford-Young, and International Instructor Trainer/mentor, Jean Leavenworth, MS Kinesiology, MS Dance. Renata continues her training in special populations and advances in exercise science for Pilates and other forms of mindful movement. 

 

"Downtime? Well, mindfulness meditation, organic gardening, cooking with friends, and of course, time to just relax together fuel our wellness lifestyle, but then in contrast, there's the work of old-house restoration, which of course, requires walking the talk of mindful movement exercise just to keep up, and so it goes... full circle!"
