About Sophie

Hello, I’m Sophie!

I started pilates as a way to transition back into exercise after a long period of being inactive. I very quickly fell in love with this special form of movement and decided to pursue my pilates instructor certification. My background in classical ballet training provided me with the flexibility and strength to advance my pilates practice and highlighted to me the importance of developing additional mobility when performing exercises to protect the body. Further, it gave me the tools of cuing and mind body connection that are critical in both performing exercises and instructing.

Pilates gave me the confidence, strength, and mobility to cultivate my abilities in multiple other areas of fitness and supported my overall personal growth. I am passionate about providing such benefits to all students at the studio and catering to each client’s level, limitations, and goals. Pilates is a diverse, challenging, but incredibly welcoming form of movement for every single person. I truly believe pilates to be far more than an exercise but rather a cornerstone to one’s overall health and well being. Furthermore, our studio fosters an air of community, inclusivity, and special attention rooted in knowledge from classical New York pilates principles that is unique.
