My name is Shirley and I am a certified Pilates instructor teaching contemporary pilates (neutral spine) and I use a holistic approach to movement which includes postural assessment and body reading. I received my mat certification from Equinox's training program in June 2018. After that, I completed my comprehensive certification at renowned Erika Bloom Pilates studio. 

 

My certification and on-going education taught me to work with different bodies and adapt my teaching to several conditions including:

​

- Pre-natal/post-natal protocols

- Diastasis/Prolapse safe movement & healing

- Scoliosis

- Osteoporosis

- Hip replacements

- Neurological conditions ( Strokes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s)

-Gait Analysis

 

I have had the privilege of learning from several master instructors such as Erika Bloom, Kuan Hui Chew, Lesley Powell and Mariska Breland (Neuro Studio).

 

I have been an avid Pilates lover; honing my love and craft for the practice from an early age. I now share my passion with others teaching Pilates in New Jersey and New York City.
