Darien’s Friday Cracker Jack online mat class is a one-hour workout designed for anyone who currently practices Pilates and likes a surprise or two.
Her classes have a unique flow as she weaves in Joe’s 34 original mat exercises, Romana’s mat order, Darien’s Gold Specials and pulls from her Pilates Mastery app.
As Darien practices with the class and to keep the class flow, please be on time.
Fridays 8am – 9am Pacific Standard Time A full non-stop hour class.
The first Sunday of each month, Darien features a different piece of equipment.
At the close of each class, the students
decide which apparatus will be featured
for the following month.
If you do not have that piece of equipment, you are still welcome to join and observe.
Class is a full hour of practice with an additional fifteen minutes set aside for Q&A.
Private lessons are for those who prefer individualized instruction.
The lessons focus on learning the “order” of the basic, intermediate and advanced repertoire, building core awareness, increasing body strength, and gaining a deeper understanding of the body/mind connection.
Darien’s studio offers a variety of training techniques on the mat and apparatus. If the private lesson is an in-home class, the same variety of techniques are used no matter what type of home equipment is available. If students are interested in purchasing props or apparatus, feel free to ask.

THE MENTOR'S TABLE
Teaching Pilates can be deeply rewarding — but it can also feel isolating. Many instructors carry unspoken challenges from certification programs, workshops, or the daily demands of the studio. The Mentor’s Table offers a safe environment for Pilates teachers to ask questions, share openly and grow in confidence.
Together, we will build connection and community so you can return to your students feeling grounded and renewed.
