Director's Greeting
Welcome to our 29Up Pilates studio!
I'm thrilled to serve as your Director and Master Instructor, Rachel Lee.
My journey in movement and wellness began with my certification from Polestar Pilates, laying the foundation for my Pilates practice since 2006. Additionally, I hold a Master's degree in Dance Education from NYU Steinhardt and am ABT Certified in Pre-Primary through Level 7 (ABT National Training Curriculum), enriching my understanding of movement mechanics and pedagogy.
With over 18 years of experience Pilates teaching and 20 years of experience in pre-ballet to pre-professional ballet teaching, along with my background as a former professional ballet dancer and choreographer, I bring extensive knowledge and passion to my teaching practice.
My teaching philosophy emphasizes safety, precision, and empowerment, drawing from my personal experiences overcoming dance-related injuries. I'm dedicated to sharing the benefits of Pilates for health and longevity.
Our mission is to empower clients to cultivate strength, flexibility, and holistic well-being through mindful movement practices. Whether you're new to Pilates or an experienced practitioner, there's a place for you here. Let's move, thrive, and inspire together.
Thank you for considering our studio. We're eagerly looking forward to welcoming you.
Warm regards,
