Pilates at Envision

Marlis comes to us with a wealth of experience, knowledge and energy. She is fully certified in all Pilates equipment and repertoire, and has been teaching for more than 15 years.

Marlis was introduced to Pilates as a 13-year-old dancer and studied Interdisciplinary Arts at Simon Fraser University. She continued to pursue a successful professional dance career in Toronto, studying under some of the great masters of dance, Pilates, and movement therapy.

As a teacher, Marlis keeps her studies relevant with the most current innovations and body sciences, incorporating PNF, DMS, cross-chain training and fascial studies, with a particular focus on functional movement. With a deep understanding of physiology, Pilates, and an intuitive flair for playfulness, she offers a truly unique approach in her practice. Marlis focuses on simple, practical solutions for improved mobility in your day-to-day activities — whether it’s standing in line at the grocery store or the best way to approach stairs, chairs and automobiles.
