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!

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!

Natalie discovered Pilates during her postpartum recovery while working to rebuild strength in her pelvic floor. As an avid runner, she values proper alignment and believes movement should challenge both the body and the mind. Her classes focus on building strength, improving stability, and helping clients move with greater confidence. Outside the studio, Natalie enjoys hiking with her family and volunteering with Girls on the Run. You can expect upbeat energy and a challenging, feel-good workout 

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.

Life’s serious enough—let’s lighten up and have some fun! Try something new while keeping proper alignment and staying safe. I’m big on injury prevention and recovery. I love travel, anything outdoors, and being part of a kind, engaging community. Focusing on my breath and moving with intention keep me grounded and energized!

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!
