A former professional ballet dancer with the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Abby found her love for Pilates during her pursuit of the art form, as she found it prevented injuries and provided the strength and stability necessary to dance professionally.

 

Abby believes that the strength and stability Pilates provides is actually necessary for all people to feel happy, healthy, and mobile throughout their daily lives. Her goal is to provide people with a greater insight to their own bodies, and expand their knowledge of intelligent exercise. Her classes are detail oriented, yet easy going and fun. 

 

Abby is STOTT PILATES® certified in Matwork, Reformer and Cadillac, Chair, Barrels through the Bodycenter Studios in Seattle, Washington, and John Garey Fitness and Pilates in Long Beach, California.
