Abigail

Abigail discovered Pilates while searching for a safer way to strengthen her body for the demands of a trapeze artist. She first discovered Pilates while getting her BFA in Modern Dance from UC Santa Barbara. She received her Pilates training from Ellie Herman, and was a Faculty member at EHS Pilates Institute. For Abigail, the joy of teaching comes in helping clients discover body awareness, eliminate pain, and fully realize their personal movement potential.

Amanda

Amanda was first introduced to the fundamentals of Pilates as a young girl in ballet class. She continued pursuing dance and movement, receiving her B.A. in psychology and dance at UC San Diego. After college she joined the corporate world, but continued performing in numerous modern dance companies in San Diego and then San Francisco, keeping Pilates in her life as a means of body conditioning and injury prevention.

After a health condition in 2003 put her out of work, she realized it was time for a change, both mentally and physically, so she decided to finally pursue Pilates as a career. In 2004 Amanda received her Pilates certification through Body Kinetics, under master trainer Carol Appel. Over the years, Amanda has expanded her Pilates repertoire with many workshops and seminars, and has taught at multiple Pilates studios throughout San Francisco. Amanda has specialized training in Pre and Post/Natal Pilates through Stephanie Forster, and obtained Booty Barre training with Tracey Mallett. Amanda hopes to help others find the same benefits that she has found in improving both body and spirit, resulting in a healthy and fulfilled life.

Julie

Julie was originally certified in the Classical Method with Master Teacher Carol Appel in 2003 through the Body Kinetics program in San Francisco, but has continued studying to incorporate many contemporary movement methods. She was introduced to Pilates through injury and is a firm believer in the power of personal body awareness as a tool for recovery and discovery of potential thereafter.

Skilled on all apparatus, Julie loves seeking further education and has learned from Lizz Roman, Chris Black, Jean Sullivan, Leslie Howard, Thomas Myers, Steve Coleman, Kathy Corey, and Eric Franklin (to name a few). She has experience with pre and postnatal clients, Pilates-based rehabilitation, and fascial release techniques. She believes in helping un-stick the body and the mind in order to move forward in new, fun, and healthy ways.

Core strength, alignment, efficiency and grace in movement are goals in every session whether working with dancers, athletes, desk wranglers, musicians, and people of all ages and backgrounds. Injury and recovery have given Julie empathy and positivity, and she passes this on to her clients whether in a group or private setting.

Leaving her MS in Geography on the shelf, Julie is still a professional dancer and actor and can be found on screen and stage on both coasts.

Nicholas

Certified Pilates Instructor Nicholas Hongola got hooked on Pilates after one of his movement teachers in graduate school taught him the 100s.

In addition Nick is a trained actor and a holds a BA in Theater Arts from UC Santa Cruz and an MFA in Acting from The American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.

Verna

Verna Carter has been Pilates Certified from Turning Point Studios since 2006, and has been a certified Gyrotonic trainer for 5 years now. She is specialized in strength and flexibility training, injury prevention and back care. Verna believes that awareness through movement is one of greatest tools we can develop.

From a very early age dance and movement have been Verna's refuge and led to her first career as a ballet dancer. She was fortunate to experience sixteen years of dancing but like many athletes the years of training imbalances and athletic mind set eventually took its toll with a career ending injuries. But as one door closes, another opens. The injuries Verna succumbed to as a dancer eventually became the training grounds for the work she does today. It is Verna's great pleasure that she's been able to work with people over the past thirteen years to create a more balanced approach towards movement and health.
