Hi, I'm Shelby,
-a classical pilates instructor based in the beautiful Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado.
Pilates has danced around different stages of my life thanks to my passion for health and wellbeing. It wasn’t until I worked at a physical therapy clinic that I truly saw its power—not just for rehabilitation, but also for reigniting people's love for exercise.
I completed a rigorous 950-hour advanced certification in classical Pilates through The Pilates Center in Boulder, CO, over two years. Additionally, I've pursued continuing education in Pilates Reformer for Rehabilitation specialists through Balanced Body. My experience as a physical therapy aide in an outpatient clinic focused on sports injury rehabilitation, joint replacement, and life’s wear and tear has deeply influenced my practice.
I call my approach "Physical Therapy Influenced Pilates." I emphasize precision, alignment, and functionality, blending these principles with the time-tested classical Pilates repertoire. My goal in private lessons is to help individuals move with intention inside the studio, so they feel more confident and prevent injuries in their everyday lives.
Outside of Pilates, I'm all about embracing the Roaring Fork Valley's adventures—from downhill skiing and skinning to rock climbing, mountain biking, pickleball, rafting, and hiking with my dog!
After four years of aiding recovery in physical therapy, my mission is to teach people how to move correctly, create stability around their joints, prevent injuries, and rediscover their love for exercise.
