"You will truly be building upon the solid foundation of Contrology which ​itself is built upon scientific principles so true, sound, and unique that the ​science and art of Contrology will live forever."

- Joseph Pilates, Return to Life Through Contrology, 1945


Contrology, as Joe called it, is a form of exercise that is meant to help ​you aquire the highest level of physical fitness. This brilliant form of ​movement and exercise can provide you with the skills you need to ​accomplish the "complete coordination of a fit body, mind, and spirit." ​The focus on core strength, flexibility, and alignment makes it a versatile ​practice that can be adapted to suit any individual's needs, whether it's ​improving posture, enhancing physical fitness, or fostering a deeper ​mind-body connection. Pilates truly is for everyone, offering a pathway ​to overall health and well-being.

Meet your Teacher

Dru Parker

I have always had a passion for SCIENCE ART and MOTION. When I discovered how Pilates ​encompassed ALL of those things, I fell in love immediately. I appreciate the SCIENCE behind ​the exercises. I enjoy the beauty of the graceful, ARTistic movements. I feel the strengthening ​effects of the mindful MOTION.


I find great joy in helping my students see the potential they have in their own body, deep ​within their core, to stand taller, sit better, and move more efficiently using the Pilates method. ​It is my hope that each student leaves their lesson feeling energized, refreshed, strong, and ​confident. I truly believe that Pilates is the perfect fitness choice for everyBODY.


I LOVE PILATES! and I would love to share the many benefits of Pilates with YOU!


In 2015, I became certified in Anatomy, Biomechanics, and Postural Analysis and All ​Populations Mat I with Pilates Academy International of New York. In 2016, I received my ​Barre certification with CoreBarre, a Smart Movment Certification created by Monica ​Hoekstra owner of ABsolute Pilates of Charlotte. I have also completed CoreBarre workshops ​for Active Aging Adults, Pre/Post Natal, Core Mat and Floor Barre, and Active Isolated ​Stretching (AIS). ​​


In 2019, I completed a "Classical Pilates" certification with Romana's Pilates International. Through this ​program I began learning the true Pilates method, and how to teach in the way Joseph Pilates taught his ​method of "Contrology." As one of Joe’s proteges, Romana wanted to continue to share his work with ​the world. So, she created a comprehensive certificaton that has become one of the world's most ​prestigious teacher training programs. Requirements of the program included over 600 hours of ​apprentice observations, lessons, practice teaching, and written and practical tests throughout the ​program. This certification has provided me with an understanding of how to safely use all of the ​classical Pilates apparatus and how to effectively create workouts for every individual regardless of ​age, ability, fitness level, injury or special conditions.


Today, I continue my study of Pilates with Janice Dulak and Monica Hoekstra of Dark Horse Pilates.

What Clients are Saying:

Quotation Mark

"I have been taking Pilates and Barre classes from ​Dru Parker for over a year. I have really enjoyed ​the classes and I feel that they have helped me to ​be stronger, have more energy, and move better. ​I received confirmation of that when I went to ​the doctor for a regular check-up. My P.A. told ​me I had a strong core when she didn't have to ​assist me on or off the exam table. I am 71 years ​old and my daughter, and two granddaughters ​also take the classes. We all enjoy taking Dru's ​classes and apppreciate her dedication as a ​Pilates instructor."

"I have been having one on one sessions with Dru ​since the end of February. When I first started ​working with her I had been away from my ​regular workouts due to shoulder and knee ​injuries. She does an amazing job of making sure ​you are using the proper muscles and doing the ​movements as you should. I had done Pilates ​routines at home and never realized how much I ​cheated on so many moves! I have had great ​improvements in core strength and flexibility ​with her classes. Thank you, Dru!"
