MEET THE TEAM
Christina Donato
Founder/Pilates
Christina learned the true power of Pilates during her certification at Equinox in London. Over the course of her year long training, her chronic lower back pain dissipated, which she never thought possible. Being a success story of the benefits pilates can bring to your body, her passion for it shines through her teaching. She thrives on helping people achieve their optimal mobility. She loves staying true to the method the way Joseph Pilates created it himself, but also loves to get a good sweat in when she needs something more athletic. That's the beauty of pilates. It can be restorative as well as strengthening.
Siobhan Kennedy
Founder/Pilates
Siobhan is a true success story of how the power of Pilates is life changing.
Siobhan was told she needed double knee surgery 6 months apart at 19 years old due to torn meniscus in both knees. After her first surgery on one knee, her physical therapist recommended pilates as part of her rehab. Within 6 months of practicing pilates, not only did the pain go away in both knees, she noticed a physical change in her body as a whole, which is where her passion for pilates began. Now, 22 years later, she has built a career and her life around pilates, and still has yet to need that second surgery on her other knee.

Yoga was her savior not only physically but now mentally allowing her to clear her mind and ground herself to continue to show up for the next day. Her love of yoga pushed Romina to pursue her 200-hr yoga teacher training in Orlando, Fl.
