Hi there!

After spending many years as a competitive gymnast and having undergone knee surgery, I was having difficulty finding a workout that was enjoyable and kind on my joints. When I retired from gymnastics, I joined an adult community swim team, but I was still looking for strength training to compliment my swim practice.

I had been searching and searching for a calisthenic workout that would help me build strong and lean muscle with low impact. Enter Inferno Hot Pilates!

I immediately fell in love with IHP as it combines high intensity interval training with low impact movement! I also have a passion for dance music and this class combines the best of everything and is perfect to cross train for any sport or activity.

In my work, as a clinical mental health therapist, I noticed how much physical exercise impacts one’s mood and how important it is to incorporate daily physical activity. I love the physical and mental benefits I get from IHP so much that it has inspired me to become an instructor to share it with others. I am driven to serve my students because living in this fast-paced world we can all use a safe space where anyone can be still, mindfu,l and present in their mind and body. 

It brings me great joy witnessing my students grow physically, mentally, and intuitively while crushing their physical and mental goals!
