Work History
PIlates and Barre Instructor
Be Hot Yoga
St. George, Utah
03.2024 - 06.2025
- At Be Hot, the studio is heated, and in my Pilates classes, I guide students through mindful movement that improves posture, core stability, and overall flexibility. I emphasize the breath-to-movement connection, form, and functional strength to help clients feel strong, centered, and confident on and off the mat. I teach a high-energy class, moving from on-the-floor classic Pilates to high-intensity moves to get the heart rate up and burn calories. This is accessible for beginners, with modifications, and challenging for advanced students.
- In Barre, I combine ballet-inspired movement with Pilates principles to deliver dynamic, high-energy classes that sculpt and tone the body. With a focus on small, precise movements and endurance training, my barre sessions build strength, balance, and grace.
