Sofia discovered Pilates as a way to relieve her back pain and soon realized the benefits of Mind-Body work went far beyond just healing her back. She received her Pilates Certification from Long Beach Dance Conditioning with Marie-Jose Blom and her Hatha Yoga certification from Max Strom.

She teaches to inspire people to be more connected with their bodies, and hopes to give her students self-knowledge to heal themselves. She has taught many kinds of classes with students who come for a range of reasons including help with an injury, to improved fitness and strength.

Treating every student uniquely Sofia tailors her sessions to the student’s individual needs and goals. Outside of teaching Pilates Sofia works as a dancer and company manager for Invertigo Dance Theater and holds a B.A. in dance and choreography from UCLA.
