Movement balances my body and mind in so many ways. I could not exist without it. I discovered Pilates in search of pain reduction due to scoliosis and postural imbalances that I was experiencing. Having studied Ballet and dance at a young age, Pilates was a natural progression of my movement experience.

Walking into a studio gives me life! I am so grateful to have discovered Pilates as a part of rehabilitation following a cervical disc herniation. Through my journey, I found a new way of movement that changed my life. I have learned how to heal myself and prevent injuries, and I want to share that with others.

Miami native Jo Martinez’s wellness background began with bodywork, as she discovered an admiration for the healing arts at an early age. Upon moving to Brooklyn, Jo found a new passion in movement through Pilates.

I’ve been involved in some sort of movement from a young age, from competitive swimming to T-ball, and eventually fell in love with dance. I grew up spending most of my formative years in a studio, and decided to continue the ride in moving to NYC from the beach of North Carolina for a degree in dance.

With a focus on alignment while gaining flexibility, mobility, and stability Talia hopes her clients leave feeling freedom in their bodies and empowered to take on the day.

Corrie uses imagery and hands-on cueing along with specific movement sequencing to make you feel simultaneously fully capable and deeply challenged, giving you a burn that’s free of pain.

Beau Dobson began taking classical pilates at the Governor’s School for the Arts High School as a cross-training for dance in 2003. He continued throughout college and after as a strengthening/rehabilitation method for dance-related injuries.

Joan’s classes focus on the individual, and pushing each person to work at their greatest potential, without ever making them feel incapable or overwhelmed. She hopes that people will leave her class feeling empowered and strong.

My Pilates journey began as a grad student when I discovered a direct correlation between physical strength and mental fortitude. A great class puts the mind and body in touch in new ways, and the importance of nourishing both became clear.

Studying anatomy and contrology through functional movement has helped me
gain a deeper understanding of my body. Noticing improvements in my posture, strength, flexibility, stability, mobility, balance, and coordination, I became even more dedicated to the practice.

Becoming a certified practitioner and learning a whole new method of movement and muscle toning has been such a blessing for me. I’m eager to teach my students how to safely push their body to new limits and reap the benefits of this amazing movement method!

I am certified in Pilates, Core Athletic Conditioning, Injury Corrective Training and as a personal trainer by way of the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). My teaching style has since grown into a blend of creative and intelligent sequencing with an emphasis on alignment and technique.

Sierra’s aim in class is to increase the mind-body awareness with challenging yet functional movements. She strongly believes that pilates can be accessible to all bodies and will leave you feeling powerful and peaceful!

Every body is a puzzle and I strive to find the most beneficial exercises to tap into the best versions of ourselves. My Pilates mission is finding the most functional way to move freely through the world with spontaneous zest and pleasure, just as Joseph Pilates hoped we would!

Hannah is a vivacious, positive, and encouraging instructor. She truly believes that Pilates is for everybody and every body. She hopes to educate and empower her clients to find more freedom, control, balance, and joy in their movement practice.
