MAT is a method Jenny uses to address pain or weakness. Jenny identifies muscles that are not contracting as they should and then using specific manual techniques, makes them contract and work more efficiently so your body becomes stronger and not only heals but feels better. MAT is sometimes adequate on its own but often times supported and made better with Pilates, strength training, at home isometrics or other exercise.
At Vajra Pilates and Muscle Activation, Jenny Miller also does Pilates for Rehabilitation of injuries or illnesses. Along with Jenny's knowledge and 18 years of experience working with people of all populations, the Pilates equipment and resistance weight machines offer you excellent recovery from your injury.
Vajra Pilates and Muscle Activation is not your typical Pilates studio. It is located inside the Athletic Training Institute (ATI) in Bellevue, WA, a private gym designed for the clinical provision of MAT and individualized exercise programs. It is across the street from the old Lowes/the new BMW dealer on 120th Ave NE and just one minute from 520.

Jenny is part of my health care "dream team". I've been seeing her regularly for over 2 years and have no plans to stop.
I found Jenny while searching for a Pilates after my chiropractor suggested it might help with some of my issues (I had a lot). I was hesitant because I had tried what I thought was Pilates many times in the past and it never seemed to "work" for me. I just couldn't do it! Then I met Jenny. (spoiler alert - Pilates "classes" are NOT the same as 1-1 with Jenny).
Jenny is an extremely talented, very impressive individual. Whether you need Pilates, nutrition advice, help reaching

I’ve been getting MAT from Jenny for a couple years now. She’s done an amazing job helping me. I have some unique upper-back problems. Jenny has been very pro-active in learning new techniques and finding new methods to address the issues. She’s super-flexible about scheduling appointments and is quick to respond to questions or concerns. I also like that she always follows-up to see how I’m doing after a strenuous session.

Only 5 stars? I'd give a lot more. Jenny keeps me strong, focused, engaged and surprisingly sore with every single pilates session. She keeps my body's limitations in mind even as she pushes me to achieve greater strength and mobility. She never lets up on the intensity but cares deeply for all of her clients. I am so much stronger than I ever thought would be possible, and I owe it all to her.

I have been with Jenny at Vajra Pilates for many years. She was my initial instructor and I have occasionally tried other instructors but I have always migrated back to Jenny. She has a thorough understanding of anatomy and she has helped me through back, shoulder, hip, and knee difficulties. Jenny is well trained and experienced, not only in Pilates, but also MAT (muscle activation training), both of which have benefited me. Jenny makes working out fun and she has my highest recommendation.

Jenny is a genuine, attentive, and knowledgeable instructor. Her use of traditional Pilates and MAT allow her to provide a fitness program that is uniquely benifical to each individual. Jenny has helped me reinforce proper athletic posture, increase mobility, address and reverse injuries, and build real core strength. I enjoy working with Jenny and would recommend anyone interested in fitness or Pilates to pay her a visit.

Hobbled and needing a knee replacement at 73 I knew I would have to get as strong as possible before surgery several months in the future. Jenny's extensive training in muscle activation techniques and Pilates helped her design a strength/fitness program to whip me into shape. Twice a week sessions and religiously following her strength plan at home helped me breeze through surgery. Quickly, amazing my doctor, I hobbled back in to Jenny to speed me through rehab. My new balanced really strong body is a daily joy. I had had some neck and other knee arthritis pains before seeing Jenny. One day I

I found Vajra Pilates and Jenny over two years ago, when I was in my late forties and I was experiencing pain doing some of the most basic daily things... like putting pants on! In working with Jenny at Vajra, it didn't take long to regain my core strength so that I no longer experience pain. I feel great! Pilates has truly given me a new lease on my body! Jenny is thoughtful, professional, encouraging and fun to work with. I recommend Vajra Pilates at every opportunity.
