Meet Dana, Your Pilates Instructor!
Dana brings a flair for drama—in the best way—to her Pilates classes. With her background in musical theatre and directing, she brings a unique blend of energy, creativity, and humor to every session. You’ll often hear her say “Motion is the lotion!” or let out a playful “Oooooooo Ahhhhhh” after a particularly spicy move. Her classes are as expressive and engaging as they are effective. Before Pilates, Dana spent years as a singer and actress, eventually becoming an award-winning theatre director—named Houston’s Best Director in 2022! Her passion for performance now shines in a different spotlight: the Pilates studio. Her love for movement is deeply personal, and she’s passed that love for the stage down to her two children, now both professional actors in New York City. When she’s not teaching or cheering them on, you might find her with her four dogs or thrifting vintage treasures. What keeps Dana coming back to Pilates is how amazing it makes her feel. She loves the strength, the balance, and the sense of grounding it provides. Her goal is to help you walk out of every class feeling stronger, more centered, and maybe even smiling from the inside out. Join Dana for a class that’s full of life, laughter, and movement that truly feels like magic.
