certified Classic Pilates Instructor

ANGELA

Born and raised in Dayton, Ohio, I moved to San Diego in the early 1990’s.  Always active and physical, from gyms, hiking, biking etc, I discovered Pilates and it changed everything!   I fell in love with it after the first session, I had never experienced such a mind-body connection with any exercise routine! 

I began my certification program with Romana’s Pilates in 2005 in Los Angeles.  I was fortunate enough to be able to study with Romana Kryzanowska.  I also studied with other master teachers like Trish Garland, Moses Urbano, Dorothee VandeWalle.

I was also in the restaurant business, I taught Pilates part time while living in San Diego.   I moved to the Pacific Northwest, opened another restaurant (apparently, I am a glutton for punishment!)  My husband and I along with our 13 year old labradoodle settled in the Sandpoint area in early 2023, and now it’s my turn to pursue my dream.

As fate would have it, I reconnected with Carrie Russo whom I went through the Romana’s Pilates program with in 2005, she has become a huge success, has many high end clients in the Los Angeles area and now has her own mentorship program for teachers.  I get to continue pursuing my education of Pilates with Carrie and many other teachers. It’s been a blessing that I’m excited to share with you.
