Mariska has been teaching Pilates since 2003 and developed her signature style, Fuse Pilates®, as a Mat class at a yoga studio in 2005. Over the years, the Fuse Pilates method has evolved to offer unique hybrid mat, tower, reformer, and chair classes, as well as private instruction. Her classes are heavily influenced by her background in Pilates, yoga, and barre, as well as a three-year mentorship with Julian Littleford. In 2020, she sold her studios, and moved to an Online Platform and a much smaller (and more conveniently located right-downstairs) home studio.In 2016, Mariska developed a patented apparatus called Fuse Ladder to incorporate more Pilates-inspired Standing, Hanging, and Balance exercises into her own workouts and studio offerings.
