Dana started practicing Pilates after sustaining a spinal injury in a car accident. She tried many forms of therapy, but Pilates was the only one that seemed to help in a long-term way. After about five years of studying Pilates as a student, she realized she would need to practice it forever. This inspired her to share with others what had helped her so much. Dana has studied thousands of hours of Pilates from multiple teachers, physical therapists, and movement educators. For the past 15 years, she has worked in the field in her studio, PT clinics and at top local studios, and she’s developed her professional skills while continuing to practice Pilates, yoga, and barre for her own injuries. Dana has completed a local 500-hour pilates teacher training in 2008, and since then has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education in pilates and rehabilitative based movement. She has also completed certifications in Barre and Core Align instruction through Balanced Body, and has taken two 200 hour yoga certifications. Prior to earning her Pilates Certification, she graduated from CU-Denver with a B.S in biology, and worked in an Internal Medicine office in Capitol Hill for seven years.

My teaching style is all about power, strength, and alignment. When I’m not managing the studio, teaching sculpt, yoga, Pilates, barre, or pre/postnatal athletic training you’ll find me diving into art projects and convincing my husband to build something else with me. Chatfield is my favorite park to go take my pups to explore. Nothing makes me feel more like an athlete than endurance challenges! Let’s be challegned, get strong, have fun, and feel successful together!

My guilty pleasure is cookies and milk every night. My teaching style adapts to my students’ energy, whether restorative or energizing. I include meditations that resonate. I’m a nutrition nerd studying dietetics and love sharing health insights. I love Wash Park for people-watching, dog walks, and volleyball. Push-ups make me feel strong, while meditation and yoga strengthen me mentally. Family, friends, and my yoga mat keep me grounded. I thrive on self-care routines like eating well, socializing, crafting, and home yoga.

I’m obsessed with reality TV, especially Survivor! As a dancer, I create simple movement sequences to help us flow and connect with our bodies. I love hanging out with my niece and watching sunsets at Harvard Gulch. In my classes, I cue students to redirect tension to their core, believing in mind over matter and breathing through poses.

I’m an early-to-bed kind of person—think super early! My teaching style is all about upbeat, positive energy. I aim to empower others to challenge themselves and push past their limits. When I’m not in the studio, I’m all about hiking and biking. Let’s get strong and have some fun together!

I teach Pilates with a dreamy, intuitive vibe and stay up way too late! Outside the studio, I cherish every moment spent with my daughters, both human and furry. In my classes, you’ll often hear, “Yes, we are doing another roll-up!” My favorite park is Cranmer; its sunsets are magical. Join me for a session filled with fun challenges!

I love hitting the trails with my partner and our rescue dog, grooving to some good beats! My favorite hangout? Cherry Creek State Park. Keeping my mind and body strong is my secret to feeling unstoppable.

My teaching style? Playful, relaxed, and interpretive. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me curled up with a good paper book—because nothing beats the feel of real pages!

I’m all about sweets and snacks! My classes mix breathwork, movement, and music for deep self-connection. Outside the studio, I hike with my dog, Max, travel, enjoy music, try new restaurants, and get lost in good books. I love creating fire playlists, giving hands-on assists, and valuing community and quality time.

I’m a night owl who thrives when the stars are out! By day, I’m a barre teacher, helping you find your balance and strength. When I’m not at the barre, I’m off on adventures and hiking with our dog, soaking up nature and finding new trails to explore. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip or discovering hidden gems in the great outdoors, I’m always up for an adventure.

My guilty pleasure? Dark chocolate! I love playing tennis, walking my dog Frances, hitting the golf course, and skiing. You’ll know you’re in my class when everyone sighs after working their thighs or glutes! Thighs are my favorite muscle group to work on. Pushing through those final counts to the beat is my sign of endurance. Let’s have some fun and get strong together!
