About Us

Litchfield Pilates & Integrative Health studio in Washington Depot offers a range of wellness practices including Pilates, meditation, Reiki, and integrative health coaching. Our Pilates instruction prioritizes strength, agility, and balance in reformer and mat classes for groups at every level of experience, as well as one-on-one sessions tailored to individual clients. We offer guided meditation for small groups or private clients to increase awareness, reduce stress, and promote inner calm. Our private Reiki sessions are performed using our hands to gently move blockages through chakras and encourage a healthy flow of energy through our clients' minds and bodies. In integrative health coaching sessions, we work with clients to attain their personal health and wellness goals. Let us join you in your wellness journey!

Annie Kaplon

Owner and Instructor

As a Master Pilates instructor, Annie Kaplon has experience using and teaching mind-body movement through Pilates for over 28 years. Trained by Michelle Larsson, Eve Gentry’s foremost pupil, through the Core Dynamic’s Program, Annie received the legacy of Pilates instruction that Eve had gained at the hands of Joseph and Clara Pilates in the 1930s-1950s. In order to elevate the quality and safety of Pilates practices and maintain the intent and integrity of Joe and Clara’s work, Annie was the founding Secretary for the Pilates Method Alliance in 2000, the only national certifying board for Pilates instructors in the country.
 
Annie is also an Integrative Health Nurse and Lerner Holistic and Integrative Nurse Fellowship Coordinator for the Lerner Health Promotion-Integrative Health Department at NYU-Langone Hospital. As a nurse for over 32 years, Annie has extensive prior experience in cardiac ICU nursing as well as heart transplant and artificial heart coordination. She has a Master’s degree in Mindfulness Studies from Lesley University and is a board-certified Integrative Health Coach from Duke University Integrative Health. She has taught mindfulness, guided imagery, and other forms of meditation, wellness, and self-care. Annie is a Reiki level 2 practitioner pursuing her Reiki masters training. Currently, Annie is focusing on the management of midlife changes during menopause using a holistic multimodality curriculum she has developed to help women during this transition.
