One thing led to another, and I turned a bedroom into a Pilates studio. It started with some adequate equipment, and I upgraded to a nearly new reformer with tower thanks to a good find on eBay. I started practicing Pilates about twenty years ago, and I’ve done it on and off with videos, private classes, group classes, DVDs, and streaming classes since then – with some pretty big gaps between active periods. Now that the last child has moved out, it’s a joy to be able to log onto PilatesAnytime and chose from thousands of streaming classes and tutorials. I’m also reading and learning anatomy, how the exercises on one piece of equipment compare with another piece of equipment, etc. I can definitely feel myself building strength, balance and flexibility. So now I’m calling on all traveling Pilates instructors to stay with us at the Stone Quarry House and barter a bit . . .
If you are an experienced student or practitioner, you are welcome to come on up and do a session together. Happily with two reformers, a tower, a chair, a step barrel, an oov, mats, balls, weights, a yoga block, even toe gizmos, there is enough equipment to go around. 🙂

Hi Monica, Thanks for your note about your stay. We’ve had a lovely warm fall this year – I’m so sorry it was too wet for you last year. Ithaca College has some great musical offerings – I hope you’ll be able to return for more. Thanks again, Nancy

We spent a night in the Apartment. It was very clean & comfortable. The weather did not cooperate, so no fire pit 😦 It was a great location; we went to Ithaca College to surprise our son and to hear the 1st Wind Ensemble Performance this year – what a wonderful treat. We hope to visit again 🙂
