Abigail discovered Pilates while searching for a safer way to strengthen her body for the demands of a trapeze artist. She first discovered Pilates while getting BFA in Modern Dance from UC Santa Barbara.  She received her Pilates training from Ellie Herman, and was a Faculty member at EHS Pilates Institute. For Abigail, the joy of teaching comes in helping clients discover body awareness, eliminate pain, and fully realize their personal movement potential.
