MEET THE PILATISTA
¡Hola! I'm Delia Luz, a licensed civil engineer who has turned into a
passionate Pilates teacher
and a mindful movement enthusiast.
I don't just practice Pilates—I live it! With purpose, vitality, and a profound appreciation for our bodies' ongoing evolution.
​
I discovered Pilates at the vibrant age of 50, during a time when I was searching for greater balance, strength, and connection in my life. What I discovered was far more than a workout. Pilates became a transformative practice that revitalized my body, quieted my mind, and supported my overall sense of well-being. Moved by the profound impact Pilates had on my life, I chose to deepen my practice and share its benefits with others. I completed the Classical Mat Training Course in 2020 and the Comprehensive Teacher Training Course at Core Pilates NYC in 2021, totaling more than 600 hours of training. Immediately after completing my training, I began teaching at the very studio where my Pilates journey began—a full-circle moment that continues to inspire my work.
​
As a dedicated teacher, I continually seek to expand my expertise by participating in specialized workshops and earning continuing education certifications. My commitment to lifelong learning ensures I provide safe, effective, and personalized instruction to every client.
​
I believe that aging isn't about slowing down—it's about moving smarter. Through mindful, age-conscious Pilates, I aim to help you build the strength, mobility, and balance necessary to stay active and independent.
Whether you're new to Pilates, returning after a break, or a fitness enthusiast, my classes are thoughtfully designed to meet your body where it is.
​
As The Pilatista, I don't follow trends.
I teach movement as a harmonious blend of science and art, based on the
original method developed by Joseph Pilates.
TESTIMONIALS
Real Bodies, Real Experiences
"Where do I begin? When they were in their late 70s, my sister and I wanted our parents to start exercising so they could stay healthy and active for as long as possible. We thought, they need Pilates, they need to build their core! They pushed back with the “but we eat healthy” argument, so we shifted our pitch: “You need to be strong so you can travel well into your 90s.” It worked! We asked a local Pilates equipment store for a recommendation, and Delia came highly praised. For the past five years, she has worked with my parents' weekly in private mat sessions. Every session is personalized and different, perfectly tailored to their needs. Delia is passionate about teaching Pilates, and her enthusiasm is simply contagious! She is patient, corrects their form and strikes the perfect balance between challenging them and keeping them excited for more. They have gone from not wanting to start Pilates at all to looking forward to their Delia-workouts!" Despina K.
"Delia es una instructora estupenda y se nota inmediatamente que le apasiona lo que hace. Te explica los movimientos en detalle y te guía para que tú de manera consciente puedas realizar los ejercicios. Adapta las sesiones a tu anatomía, y a cómo tu cuerpo se sienta ese día. Puedo decir que después de estar practicando Pilates con Delia, mi condición física ha mejorado, he ganado elasticidad y coordinación trabajando músculos que ni siquiera sabía que existían." Lucy F.
