Jess P.
Hi, I'm Jess, a certified Pilates instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience and a graduate of the Federal University of Uberlândia in Brazil. I discovered my passion for mobility and care when I began teaching Pilates in 2014, and since then, I have been deeply committed to continuous learning and professional growth.
With a strong foundation in anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology, I develop classes that are safe, effective, and thoughtfully tailored to each individual. I am currently completing a Master’s program in Rehabilitation, where I work closely with clients, helping them reconnect with and trust their bodies through movement.
I have experience teaching clients of all levels and always prioritize their well-being and personal goals. My greatest joy is building genuine connections, helping each client feel comfortable and confident in their own body, and creating sessions they truly look forward to. Classes available in English and Portuguese.
Tamara began
Tamara began teaching Pilates in March 2025 after completing more than 100 classes in just 23 weeks—a period marked by dedication, curiosity, and a deep desire to rebuild her strength. A lifelong athlete who has played basketball, run track, completed half marathons, practiced yoga, and trained at Orangetheory, she discovered Pilates at a moment when she needed balance, resilience, and healing. As a mother, an energy professional, and someone navigating injuries and PCOS/PMOS, Pilates became the method that restored her strength, reduced her pain, and renewed her energy.
Pilates transformed Tamara’s life from the inside out. It improved her mobility, enhanced her stability, and deepened her appreciation for the body’s resilience and adaptability. Beyond the physical benefits, Pilates offers mental clarity, focus, and a grounded sense of connection.
Tamara is also TRX certified, bringing an additional layer of functional strength, balance training, and mindful movement to her teaching.
Teaching allows Tamara to share the gifts Pilates gave her. She is passionate about helping people move better, feel stronger, and experience the same empowerment, curiosity, and joy that Pilates continues to bring to her life. Her classes combine athleticism with compassion, encouraging students to explore their potential, trust their bodies, and celebrate progress at every stage.

Nora K
Nora’s journey into Pilates blends athletic discipline, academic insight, and spiritual exploration. A former high school cheer captain who led her Colorado team to back-to-back state championships, she developed an early respect for the body through years of rigorous training. After earning a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Industrial and Organizational Psychology from Howard University, she spent seven years as a psychiatric director before following a deeper calling in 2020 that led her to Rishikesh, India, where she studied ancient yogic traditions and became certified in Ashtanga yoga, pranayama, and meditation.
Her continued studies in stretching and flexibility eventually led her to Pilates three years ago, where she found a practice that seamlessly unites strength, awareness, and alignment. Rooted in Indigenous spirituality and holistic wellness, Nora integrates her background in psychology, movement, and ancestral healing traditions to create classes that cultivate resilience, self-trust, and empowered connection between body and mind.
