Just over ten years ago, I took my first Pilates class with Jesolyn Lucas. I consider that day to be among the luckiest in my 60+ years of life—and that’s not hyperbole!...
Her knowledge of Classical Pilates is second to none...

I have been practicing Pilates for many years. I started in person at a studio in NYC and quickly settled into classes 3 times a week with Jesolyn Lucas...
I think Jesolyn has an amazing gift for teaching and communicating...

Meet Jesolyn of Lucas Pilates NYC
I first discovered Classical Pilates with Master Teacher Dorothee VandeWalle. From my first lesson, I was drawn to the precision, consistency and challenge of the work. I have continued my own Classical Pilates training for over 30 years with many amazing teachers including Jerome Weinberg, Javier Velazquez, Janice Dulak, and Sari Mejia Santo. I carry the work I’ve done with these amazing mentors into every class I teach.
