The Movement Center 

Jennifer has a background in classical ballet, theatre and independent film. She turned to Pilates for injury and illness rehabilitation in 2013. She is a Peak Pilates comprehensively certified classical instructor. She also trains regularly with Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates in NYC, and Sara Talbert of b. pilates Denver. Jenn believes in the healing capacity of J.H. Pilates’ original life’s work. She regularly works with post-rehab clients, helping them reinforce healthy movement patterns and find the strength and freedom of movement they had before injury. Jenn responds to the body in front of her, and helps clients find their best form in every plane and relationship to gravity.

Sophia discovered a new joy of movement and expression after being introduced to Pilates as a method of injury prevention for dancers in 2002. Since then she has found Pilates to be an effective tool for healing and strengthening in her body as a whole. She received her certification through Integrated Teacher Training in San Francisco under Jean Sullivan, Margaret Tappan and Ashley Beldon in 2009. She has studied healthy movement applications for the knee, hip, spine and shoulder through the Axis Syllabus, and been influenced by an incredible cohort of teachers and artists from the Bay Area including Nicole Dessoye, Elizabeth Donahue, Frey Faust and Kira Kirsch. Sophia is passionate about teaching clients who want to feel an increased sense of vitality and connection to their bodies. Her challenging yet nurturing approach weaves together dynamic movement and biomechanical problem solving. She is committed to giving all of her clients the tools to understand their own bodies, improving strength, agility, balance and body awareness.
