About
I'm Saul Choza
Pilates has been a part of my life for more than thirty years. Over that time, I’ve seen how powerful this method can be—not only in strengthening the body, but in lifting the spirit. The work created by Joseph Pilates truly works, and watching my students transform through consistent practice continues to inspire me every day.
My journey began when I started training with Mari Winsor in the 1990s. What began as a mentorship grew into a partnership that lasted more than 17 years. During that time, I had the privilege of teaching alongside her and appearing in many Winsor Fitness videos, helping bring Pilates into homes around the world.
When I opened Winsor Choza Pilates, I wanted a space where the work could continue to evolve—a studio grounded in the classical method, yet welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. I was fortunate to have the encouragement of Mari, the support of dear friends, and the unwavering belief of my husband as I took the step to become a small business owner.
Today, I take great pride in creating an environment where people feel safe, supported, and nurtured. My goal is simple: to help every student feel seen and welcomed as they begin or continue their Pilates journey. Every morning begins with a blessing for the studio and for the people who will fill it.
Whether you are new to Pilates or have been practicing for a long time, you are welcome here. At Winsor Choza Pilates, the goal is simple: to help you move better, feel stronger, and experience the lasting benefits of the classical method in a supportive and caring environment.
