Shira found her way to Pilates through yoga. While always a yoga teacher at heart, what drew her to Pilates was its intricate approach to strengthening and alignment. She discovered how functional a modality it is – a way to support other forms of exercise and acts of daily living. Shira completed her Pilates teacher training certification with Justine Malick at The Lab. With over five years of teaching experience, she has worked with a range of bodies, experience levels, and injuries. Her love for teaching is rooted in the belief that movement practices are boundless; they have the capacity to heal and transform in profound ways. She aims to facilitate a practice in which you can create both physical and mental space, becoming better able to understand and connect with yourself from a place of curiosity and openness.

What brought you to Pilates?

I found Pilates to be so complimentary & supportive for yoga, running, cycling, and really all movement practices.

Why do you teach?

To facilitate the same grounded yet energized feeling that I get after taking a good class.
