As an apprentice she is currently working towards her Pilates Mat certification with Pilates Unlimited, an institution that offers Pilates instruction and continual education for those who wish to teach Pilates. Ana first became hooked on Pilates when she tried it to alleviate her own back pain from a childhood injury. She also noticed how it improved her own strength and especially her flexibility in a way that other forms of exercise had not. Ana’s goal is to inspire and support people to have strength, health, and energy for life!
