Welcome to Pilates Rising founded on the understanding that integrated movement is an expression of vitality. We believe that embracing where you are in your body and moving with intention connects us to the body’s innate wisdom, supporting transformation from the inside out.

Our approach blends the precision of classical Pilates with the restorative intelligence of MELT Method, guided by fascial science and the art of mindfulness. Each practice is an invitation to move with awareness - refining strength, restoring balance, and rediscovering vitality already within you. Through this awareness, we awaken coherence - the quiet harmony where strength and softness meet.

Through private instruction and feel-good on-demand classes, Pilates Rising offers personalized guidance and accessible movement experiences that support you in moving consciously, living fully, and rising at your own pace.

Meet Kim O'Leary

“I’ve spent more than two decades helping clients move with purpose and awareness. Shaped by years of teaching, Pilates Rising was created from my understanding that mindful movement initiates a conversation with the body’s quiet intelligence and cultivates vitality, confidence, and longevity.

This work is a celebration of embodied movement and the beauty of conscious aging — learning to meet our bodies with clarity, resilience, and grace. Together, we explore how moving with intention is an invitation to rise into a deeper connection with ourselves.”
