JoAnne started taking Pilates class while training for a 100-mile bike ride, to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. After all those miles on a bicycle, she realized she needed something to help her stretch and feel balanced. She began with Pilates mat classes and quickly found that even though the class appeared easy and simple, it was anything but.

JoAnne became certified in Power Pilates System 1 in 2008, and then in 2011, she completed the Power Pilates Comprehensive training.  She teaches at our Cumberland and Providence studios.  She takes weekly lessons, attends numerous Power Pilates conferences, and other continuing education programs to expand her learning and practice. She is also NCPT (Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher) Certified. 

“One of my favorite things about Pilates is its brilliance! The more I learn, the more I need to learn! I love that I am always teaching my mind and body how to be strong! And that’s fun to share with people!”
