I am a certified Pilates instructor and am passionate about helping people attain their physical goals.  Pilates is a transformative experience that not only connects your mind and body but also helps you to gain a better understanding of your body that can carry through your daily life.   Whether you are sitting at a desk all day, recovering from an injury, or just want to age with grace, pilates can help.   Come and visit my fully equipped private studio in Pasadena and l will design a personal program where you will be challenged and have fun at the same time.

I am a wellness enthusiast, mother of two, and a lover of pilates.  Pilates has helped me through several injuries, pregnancies, and continues to help in keeping up with my energetic boys.  In 2014 I attained my certification through Long Beach Dance Conditioning.  I have a strong background with injury prevention and recovery.  I continue to further my education to stay on top of the cutting edge of information on pre/post natal, menopause, biomechanics, and fascia.  I am passionate about understanding my clients bodies and learning as much as I can about the biomechanics of the human body.

In addition to working with private clients, I enjoy working with children and I teach a movement class to K-5th grade at a private elementary school in Pasadena.  My goal is to incorporate a fun, non-competitive mind/body movement experience for children which fosters body awareness and self confidence in all ages.

Why You Need Pilates

Pilates has been around for a long time for one reason - it works!  Pilates helps to awaken and recruit your body's deepest muscles allowing you to strengthen from within which helps increase athletic performance, decrease your risk of injury, heal injuries, and move with efficiency.  All of this work will also allow you to become leaner and more toned.  

 

 

Testimonial 1

"Megan has been my personal Pilates trainer for a year now and I can’t say enough about how it has helped my body inside and out. The workout itself is tailored and comprehensive and I feel amazing afterwards.  Megan is incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and kinesthetics, can work on exactly the areas that need it most and can perceive throughout the session when things are too challenging or too easy. The depth of her skill goes far beyond just providing a good workout in the moment, but extends to a greater understanding of my own body and what it needs. What I’ve learned from her has helped me improve my general posture, is helping improve my scoliosis and has encouraged me to make some really positive life changes in my physical health. I also do an occasional barre class and feel that my workout there has been deeply enhanced by what Megan has taught me about how to move properly. The increased body awareness and health I have as a result of working with her makes me wish I had started this years ago!"  Diane

“I struggled with lower back pain and knee issues when my doctor recommended that I try Pilates. I am so happy that I found Megan because, after about three months, I noticed significant changes in my body and was virtually pain-free. Also, as someone who has always hated exercise, I can say that I actually enjoy and look forward to each session with Megan. She is kind, warm, and motivating. I highly recommend working with her!” Jenn

" I haven't been doing pilates for that long but I am already feeling the results. There is something to be said about having a well educated instructor. What I like about Megan is her attention to detail. She designs the perfect program for your particular needs. I have back issues and she has helped teach me what I need to do in order to regain my strength and control. Megan explains each step and always makes sure I have the correct form. Her sessions are fun yet focused and are helping me achieve my goals."   Carrie
