Darlene O'Neill

Pilates Pracitioner

Complete Core Pilates

Learning to move well in the studio improves every activity outside the studio....... As a lifetime enthusiast of fitness, Darlene was first introduced to yoga classes while attending UBC for her BSc. Geology. While a circuitous route was taken to becoming a Pilates instructor, the years were filled with a MSc in Horticulture (a change from hiking looking at rocks to hiking looking at plants!), adding two girls and many a dog to the family, as well as becoming a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor. After becoming familiar with the amazing benefits of Pilates when strengthening her core following two pregnancies, Darlene’s love of learning alongside her passion for movement inspired her to become a Pilates Process instructor. Darlene is so grateful to be able to teach at such a welcoming studio where she is able to help others explore movement to achieve balance, strength and ease in their body and mind. When not in the studio or teaching yoga, Darlene can be found in the garden, on her bike or skis, in the hills with her border collie or with her bees. Pilates Process Certified Mat and Reformer, Level 1 Cadillac/ Yoga Alliance E-RYT200 / Chair Yoga / CFES Personal Trainer, Group Fitness instructor / TRX
