Stephanie Searson,

Level 2 Senior Pilates Instructor

I’ve always been a person who loves exploring and learning new things. My inquisitive personality has led me to earning an Art degree, Early Childhood Education degree, and studying and working as a cartoon voiceover actor.

In 2000 l discovered Pilates and fell in love right from my very first lesson.

My enthusiasm for Pilates drove me to want to teach others about this amazing method of exercise, so l decided to pursue a career as a professional Pilates instructor.

In 2003 I earned my Comprehensive Pilates certification from Power Pilates in New York City, studying under renowned teachers Bob Liekens and Susan Moran Sheehy. Learning from the best gave me the knowledge and experience in working with a variety of bodies all having their own individual goals and needs.

Helping clients develop strength both physically and mentally is what makes teaching for me so fulfilling. I like to encourage people to take a class and experience the classical method created by Joseph Pilates for one reason… IT WORKS!!
