Thank you for visiting Sleekr Pilates!
I am a New York-based pilates instructor specializing in sports performance training, pre/post-natal conditioning and back pain/joint rehabilitation. I offer private pilates equipment sessions as well as pilates mat classes for individuals, groups and corporations. I’ve taught for the United Nations, Columbia University and Cirque du Soleil.
I received my certification from Stott Pilates with additional coursework in Injuries (including knee and hip issues, herniated disks, scoliosis, sciatica) and Special Populations (including sports enhancement, and pre/post-natal conditioning). I’ve conducted instructor certification courses for Pilates Academy International (Pilates on Fifth) in New York.
A few years ago I made good on a long-time dream to live and work in Asia. While living in Shanghai I introduced pilates to some of the leading mind-body fitness studios in the city and was featured in the press as a new voice for pilates in the region.
Like most New York pilates instructors, I have studied dance most of my life. I started with classical ballet at the age of four and later added modern dance and just enough hip-hop to keep me humble. I’ve also been teaching hoop dance and find that its flow and cardio-pumping moves are a great complement to the precise, strength-focused moves of pilates. I’m not on stage professionally much these days but I do still love to perform. Supporting art and creative culture remain an important part of my life.
If you are ready to see what this pilates thing is all about, please contact me to arrange a lesson. Get ready to meet a stronger, longer, Sleekr you!
