FITNESS
Hi, i'm Dana (she/her/hers). Movement education has been my passion for over 20 years. I know movement is NOT one size fits all and I want to help you achieve your wellness goals! It is important to me to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for you to learn, ask questions, and of course work hard.
My teachers had a profound impact on my physical and mental well-being. Their support changed the trajectory of my life and now I want to share what I have learned with you.
​
My Private sessions are 100% tailored to meet your needs. I can offer you any combination of modalities that serve you best. Including Pilates Mat, Yoga, Barre, Bootcamp, or fusion style classes. No fancy equipment required! I will work with whatever you have access too.
However, if you happen to have access to Pilates equipment, such as a reformer or Cadillac, I am also happy to offer equipment instruction as well.
