Exceptional Pilates Instructor and Studio in Greensboro NC. Amanda listens to her clients to help modify exercises to maximize impact based on client needs. I've been coming for years now and it's really helped me stay strong! Highly recommend Pilates and particularly Core Integrity Pilates studio and Amanda!
Amanda finds that guiding her beloved clients to find their true “core integrity” is her passion and purpose.
In 2003, Amanda graduated
with her BFA in Dance, focusing on performance and choreography
from UNCG. After graduation, Amanda became a comprehensively
certified Pilates instructor through Power Pilates® NYC. She
is now the owner of her Greensboro based studio, Core Integrity
Pilates, a boutique fitness studio and holistic wellness center,
established in 2005, and still growing strong.
One of Amanda's main goals was to clarify and simplify the path for
those talented teachers in training that would follow in her wake.
In 2008, CIP became a Participating Training Center for Power
Pilates, NYC. This allowed for students going through the
Comprehensive Power Pilates certification program (which includes a
600 hour apprenticeship and in most cases, many miles of travel for
months on end), the opportunity to log self-practice, observation
and practice teaching hours at CIP under Amanda's supervision.
Becoming a teaching studio enabled Amanda and her growing team to
offer guidance and support to those working toward their
certification, which can be a very stressful and confusing time, as
well as providing them with more convenience and less
travel.
Amanda holds
her Prenatal and Postpartum Pilates Specialist certification from
the Center for Women's Fitness. She finds this specific population
to be incredibly intriguing, inspiring and rewarding to teach. She
hopes to pursue further levels of training and expertise in this
area in order to expand the pre and postnatal program offerings at
CIP.
She is also a certified Barre instructor and Teacher Trainer. She
is ACE Certified to teach Group Exercise. Adding a Barre program to
the CIP repertoire was such a natural fit for the life long dancer,
melding two of her passions into one brilliant, beautiful
offering!!
The last pieces
of the “whole wellness” puzzle came together when Amanda discovered
the myriad benefits of nutritional cleansing and rebalancing in the
summer of 2015. Working 18-20 hour days 7 days a week can take it's
toll on a body (not to mention mind and spirit!) so finding a
simple solution to help re-set her body's ability to assimilate
nutrition, and then flooding it with the cleanest, most beautifully
sourced superfoods on earth, was (and is) KEY to her survival.
This, in combination with the use of pure essential oils, has had a
dramatic impact on her health. Her goals now include sharing this
wealth of holistic knowledge with as many people as possible and to
coach them through each step of this profound yet simplistic
process of helping their bodies function as the miracles that they
ARE!
Amanda is mother to Everly Louise and partner to the love of her
life, Lucas. She continues to teach Pilates, run her businesses,
weave dreamcatchers and create other eclectic boho art, and dance
professionally... constantly seeking opportunities to share the
healing gifts of movement and holistic wellness with
others!
