I am a recent graduate from the University of Arizona with a bachelors of fine arts in dance. I
grew up in Ceres, California and trained at Steps Arts Dance Center and Juline’s School of
Dance. I will be teaching at Sukha only for the summer because I will be moving to Chicago to
begin my professional dance career with DanceWorks Chicago. While attending college, I was
introduced to Pilates after facing an ankle injury. I loved how deeply I learned to understand my
body and felt so strong while dancing intensely in college. I received my Fletcher Pilates
certification under the direction of Kyria Waugaman with Bodyworks Pilates in Tucson, Arizona.
While finishing up school I worked at Bodyworks as an instructor and also taught private classes
for my dance major friends. At Bodyworks I worked with many different types of bodies and
many different ages. I enjoy getting to know my clients so I can tailor each session to any
individual’s needs. I look forward to helping others build strength, balance, endurance, and most
importantly feeling the joy or movement.
