Saturdays | 3:30–5:00 PM

Discover the foundation of strength, stability, and vitality through the Pelvic Vitality Method—a science-informed movement practice designed to restore and strengthen one of the body's most essential yet often overlooked systems.

Each 90-minute class begins with nervous system regulation and mindful breathwork, followed by mobility and stretching exercises before progressing into Pilates-based strengthening to support pelvic floor function, core stability, posture, and whole-body movement.

Optional pelvic weights may be incorporated as students develop confidence and strength. Those new to the practice are encouraged to begin without weights and progress safely over time.

With consistent practice, students may experience improved pelvic health, core strength, posture, circulation, bladder control, body awareness, and nervous system regulation. Many participants also report greater confidence, comfort, and ease in their intimate lives as they reconnect with this powerful center of the body.

Classes are offered in a respectful, welcoming, and evidence-informed environment that honors every stage of the journey.

Susana Belen Gutierrez is the founder of Erotic Heart Academy, where modern science, functional movement, and sacred embodiment come together to support lasting transformation.

Drawing from extensive training in Pilates, massage therapy, yoga therapy, breathwork, hormone health, somatic healing, intimacy education, and personal transformation, she offers a compassionate and empowering approach that helps students reconnect with their bodies through both science and embodied wisdom.

Her mission is to help people cultivate greater vitality, confidence, resilience, and authentic connection by restoring the body's natural intelligence and awakening its innate capacity for healing.

Whether your goal is improved physical function, deeper embodiment, or a stronger connection with yourself, the Pelvic Vitality Method offers a safe and supportive space to build lasting strength from the inside out.
