Whether you’re new to Pilates or at an advanced level, at APG Pilates we work with each person individually and in small groups to help you achieve your personal goals. Pilates is designed to improve physical strength, stability, flexibility, posture, and enhance mental awareness.
Our studio is mainly offering classical Pilates session and class. New clients will be introduced to the classical sequences and we will progressively add new exercices. Our instruction is focused on improving body alignment for overall strength and stability while paying attention to the clients’ individual needs. Regular clients might also be introduced to some contemporary variations while still following the principales of Joseph Pilates' method, originally named Contrology. During the class and session, we will incorporate Pilates mat and apparatus like the Reformer, Cadillac ( trapeze table), Tower (wall unit), Chair, Barrel, Spine Corrector and more...
The focus is on performing a structured sequence of exercises that closely follow Joseph Pilates' original teachings, emphasizing controlled movements and proper breath work aiming for deep muscle engagement throughout the body.
Our studio offers individually focused instruction by keeping class sizes small.

Angela worked as a free-lance dancer for various companies, theater and TV projects.
She was introduced to Pilates through dance, but really connected with the intelligence of the technique and became truly involved after her first pregnancy to “reforme” her body by bringing back deep strength and stability. She then, became very aware of all the great benefits as a dancer, a teacher but most importantly as a woman.
She is trained by Balanced Body w/Ann Toran, Joy Karley, Fabrice Lamego and became certified by Polestar Education in 2009 with Brent Anderson. She was a teacher at “Pilates Reforming NY” in New York City where some of the clients have included Broadway performers, radio city Rockettes, and prize NYC marathoners. She also teaches for several workshops in France and taught for the Alvin Ailey Dance Company during their French tour.
Her continuing education include training and workshops such as Pamela A Downey “Don’t hurt the Momma”, Linda Fit “Pilates and Props”, Anatomy in 3D and Pilates on tour with BB education, where Jennifer Kries convinced her about the importance of the classical system.
In 2015, she started her bridging program under the guidance of Juliet Harvey from Beacon Pilates to improve her practice and knowledge on the Classical and original form of the Pilates method.
Angela has been teaching in the Hudson Valley since 2009 and opened her own studio in Newburgh in 2012. Since March 2014, she has been located in front of the Washington Headquarters, on Liberty street where she can enjoy the beautiful view of the park!
In 2023, she decided to join the team of Beacon Pilates to become one of Juliet's Teacher Trainer. This new chapter is really exciting and she is grateful to be surrounded by such a wonderful team and clients at her own studio as well as at Beacon Pilates and their affiliated studios.
