Molly Rogers  

Molly Rogers completed her MFA in Dance at UC Irvine, where she focused her studies in dance history and contemporary ballet choreography.  Though ballet is the foundation of her dance training, her love of flamenco during the past five years has brought her to study with master teachers in Spain and throughout California.  

Molly discovered pilates when multiple injuries forced her to find a low-impact exercise routine. While completing her certification with Jill Cassady’s Pilates Technique, she was intrigued by how a deeper knowledge of body mechanics changed the way she approached both her dance classes and daily movement tasks.  As a pilates instructor she strives to help her clients develop greater self-awareness, self-confidence, and ease of movement while nurturing life-long habits for physical well-being.

Jessica Shinn

Jessica discovered Pilates through a dance instructor who demonstrated the techniques and recommended ongoing classes. She took the instructor’s advice and soon developed a growing passion for Pilates. She also found that it strengthened her core and bettered her dance skills. Now Jessica has helped many clients through her Pilates sessions: She has helped clients with shoulder and hip injuries work towards healing, people with tight backs have more spine mobility, helped clients lose weight, and helped people build great muscle tone.

In pondering what might be fun to add to the blog, I decided to start with some old Joseph and Romana Pilates videos in case some of you have not yet seen them….

Enjoy!
