I was first introduced to the Pilates method as a dance major at The Boston Conservatory and was hooked from the very start. I have 12 years of experience teaching Pilates and 20 years experience as a dance educator.  I taught movement to students aged 2 to 82 in some of Manhattan’s finest institutions including, The Feld Ballet School, The Boys and girls Club, Ballet Hispanico, New York State Parks and The Jewish Community Center. In New York City, I studied with master teachers, Irene Dowd, Juan Estrada, Daniel Lyon and Dixie Lee Mills. I have accrued more than 1000 training hours in Classical Pilates and Functional Anatomy. I am a graduate of the prestigious Real Pilates Teacher Training Program under the guidance of Pilates pioneer and physical therapist Alycea Ungaro.  I am a member of the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science as well as a Registered Yoga Teacher. I am currently on faculty at Body Springs Pilates Studio and the Dance Institute in Austin, Texas.

MOVEMENT HEALS My all time favorite quote from Mister #Pilates applies to ideology as well as physiology. Keep moving. Pace & strength vary, breathers are mandatory, just keep going. Stagnation is the enemy, fluidity is the essence of life. 🌱 &

“For a woman who is not very good at working out, has 2 kids and really needed to exercise, Pilates with Misty was a huge gift to my body and my mind. Misty was always aware of my posture, making sure my body would be safe while pushing me past my comfort zone just enough to achieve healthy change. I was lucky to see Misty at least once a week and the change in my body and posture were profound. I could feel my body  get stronger and stay stronger. On a daily basis, I recommend Pilates to anyone looking for, what I feel is the perfect workout. Not all teachers are created equal, if you are lucky enough to find a uniquely aware, thoughtful and motivating one like Misty, you have struck gold.”

“I started Pilates because I wanted to get stronger physically and to help me with my dancing.  Pilates has helped me both physically and mentally. I learned to use different muscle groups properly and also know when to give my body and mind a break and just breathe. When I dance it doesn’t hurt any more because I’m using my muscles the correct way and I’m also able to keep up my stamina. I’ve seen major improvements with my life and have learned so much about my body. I love coming to Pilates to find out other parts of my body that I have not found yet, getting stronger and learning about my body.”

“I teach yoga, surf, climb and ride my bike. I thought yoga would be enough to keep me strong and flexible, but it wasn’t until I worked with Misty that I realized just how much strength training I needed to continue practicing yoga safely and in alignment. Having injured my rotator cuff a few years ago (too many chattarungas without the proper lats, traps, pectoralis, and rhomboid strength), I needed to practice with a skilled movement professional who knows the body well. Misty met my needs and taught with such clear instruction, giving me alignment cues that allowed me to feel the muscles that we were working on. My core got stronger after a few sessions with her and I felt more evenly balanced among all my muscle groups after a month. I’m very grateful to work with someone so caring, yet tough and thorough, as Misty! I only wish I still lived close to where she teaches.”

“As a newcomer to Pilates, I found Misty to be a wonderful teacher. She explained the movements clearly and with an energizing style that keeps you moving and working, body and mind! Her space is bright and airy yet private so you can focus on learning the practice.”

— Jessica S. 42

“For the past 20 years, I have been attending Pilates mat classes. I’ve seen good classes and bad. Recently, I added a private reformer class with Misty to my Pilates practice. Due to her insight and customized approach, I noticed an immediate change in the way I use my core muscles. These days I get a lot more out of my mat classes. I have never felt more fit.”

— Sarah T. 52

“I have been practicing pilates for five years and recently started private practice with Misty which has been amazing.  She is sensitive to my needs and limitations as a senior, while still continuing to challenge me which is so important at my age.  Regular Pilates practice with Misty keeps my posture in check, my joints moving well, and builds strength so that I can spend more pain-free time at the pottery wheel doing what I love.”
