Joseph Pilates lived from 1883-1967. He created exercises and apparatuses that today we call Pilates. Classical Pilates adheres to his method and pedagogy passed down from a handful of teachers who worked with him. We teach Classical Pilates on classical equipment. We use all the equipment, offering endless variety.
Cassandra began teaching Pilates in 2006. She relies on consistent, continuing education to stay inspired and has cultivated a deeply intuitive and biomechanically solid knowledge base. She believes in Joe's messages that "above all (we should) learn to breathe correctly," we "are the architect of our own happiness," and that "movement heals." Cassandra created NICE out of a deep desire to educate, inspire, and give back to her community.
Deborah is a classically trained instructor with an M.S. in Dance Education. She was certified in 2003 through Power Pilates. As a former professional dancer, choreographer and dance instructor, Deborah brings with her a wealth of experience and understanding of how bodies work. Always curious, Deborah continues to learn and likes to explore different healing modalities and exercise therapies and how they fit in with Classical Pilates; she is excited to share her knowledge and passion of Pilates with you!
Liz first discovered her passion for Pilates after coming off the road from years of touring as a professional musician. She immersed herself in her Pilates, practicing to correct her body and rehabilitate from travel and performance fatigue and chronic injuries.
Liz trained with Real Pilates, a classical training certification program under Alycea Ungaro, headquartered in NYC. She is dedicated to encouraging clients to leave classes feeling stronger, inspired and excited. She is often accompanied by her trusted service animal, Theo, also a Pilates aficionado.
Taylor has over a decade of practicing Pilates with Cassandra and recently made the career change to Instructor. Taylor trained with Real Pilates Teacher Training—the Bay Area’s most robust, classical program. When she’s not teaching Pilates she’s fully immersed in motherhood and is training to specialize in pre-natal and postpartum Pilates.
Amie, a San Francisco native, began studying Pilates in college and became a teacher in 2000 under the mentorship of Master Trainer Carol Appel in the classical tradition. Amie has taught Pilates in many settings, locally and internationally. She integrates over 20 years of movement experience and continuing education into her teaching to meet clients where they are and guide them through the system to achieve "universal development of body and mind". Amie holds an MS in health and wellness management and works with organizations and individuals to thrive in the seven dimensions of wellness - physical, social, emotional, occupational, intellectual, environmental, and spiritual.
