The HPS method

I’m a pilates instructor who thinks fitness doesn’t have to be just gentle stretching and guided breathing to be anti-diet or body neutral.

Gentle stretching is great, but HPS was born because I couldn’t find pilates workouts that challenged me physically without encouraging a transactional relationship with food or tuning out of my body’s wisdom.

My classes are rooted in the belief that intentional, breath centric, and high sensation exercise (that feeling when you think your leg might fall off if you do one more rep) cultivates body awareness, promotes mindfulness (hard to think about your to-do list when your glutes are on *fire*), deepens muscle activation, and helps you build strength and confidence…so long as it’s fun, creative, and shame-free.

If you love the satisfying, cathartic, wet noodle-y feeling you get after a killer workout but you roll your eyes when you hear the phrase “long, lean lines”, you’re gonna love it here.

Movement that fits your mood

  • "The best body neutral workout. No “tough love” or body-shaming here—just self-love."

    Alyssa Girdwain, Women’s Health Magazine

  • "I have many memberships but I keep coming back to Helen's. I love that the classes are focused on staying present in your body...not trying to change how you look. Whenever I want to feel calm and refreshed after a workout, I open HPS."

    Julia Malacoff, InStyle Magazine

  • "As someone with a historically fraught relationship with exercise, I'm so glad Helen and HPS exist. In fact, her classes brought me back to group fitness after years of avoidance. HPS classes make me feel good…seriously, she's like the Marie Kondo of Pilates — every exercise is intentional and sparks joy!”

    Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz, @Holisticism

  • "I love HPS because classes are challenging to an individual level without triggering language such as slimming or toning. It focuses on actual fitness and health.”

    Shana Spence MS, RDN, CDN, @thenutritiontea

  • "As an intuitive eating dietitian, Helen is my go to for intuitive, joyful, and mindful movement! My community absolutely loves her body neutral approach and we all agree we feel much more connected with our bodies and souls coming out of one of her classes!"

    Colleen Christensen, RDN, @no.food.rules

  • “I absolutely love Helen’s workouts and am so grateful to have had them to lean on during pregnancy. Her knowledge of the human body, focus on form, and dedication to creating a welcoming space for all shines through with every class."
