Bio

As a professional dancer and actor, movement has long been central to Arie’s life. Her journey into Pilates began alongside dance, when she discovered that the method could not only enhance her performance but also create a deeper connection to her body.

She went on to complete her Pilates Instructor certification with STOTT and has since become a favorite among Angeleno Pilates devotees, with over ten years of experience teaching private and group reformer classes around town, as well as working with high-profile clients and leading retreats in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the desert.

Arie brings a distinct dance-informed perspective to her teaching and remains closely connected to the local dance community. In 2024, she developed a class format for professional dancers, focusing on stability, range of motion, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.

Her classes are supportive, thoughtful, and always a little playful. Arie loves helping people move with more ease, confidence, and body awareness while making Pilates something they look forward to. She’ll help you develop a deeper understanding of your body and challenge you along the way, whether you’re brand new to Pilates or have been practicing for years.
