Angela Herlofsky

Angela Herlofsky, a former dancer, began her pilates career in 1998 at the Pilates Studio of Los Angeles. She was trained in classical Pilates by Melinda Bryan PT, who was under the guidance of Romana Kryzanowska and worked alongside Jay Grimes, both revered elders of the Pilates community. Angela was certified in 1999 through the Physicalmind Institute and has been teaching full-time for the past 27 years. She is certified by the National Pilates Certification Program, along with many other modalities, including TRX, Barre Above, and Trigger Point.
In 2016, Angela began her relationship with the first Club Pilates in the Minneapolis Market. She became a Master Trainer for the franchise in 2017 and has since led over 49 Comprehensive Teacher Training programs, and several instructor on-boarding workshops, with well over 100 graduates. She comes with a solid Classical Background, yet she has experience with many styles of Pilates, from contemporary to rehab-based and everything in between. She brings an experience level and quality of teaching that gives her students a full scope of the industry. Her teaching offers students a unique perspective that aims to retain the essence of Pilates, combined with modern knowledge so that they may evolve the work without distorting that which sets it apart.
‘My goal is to inspire quality instructors with critical thinking capabilities that elevate their teaching far beyond so much of what we are seeing coming out of so many of today's Pilates programs.

In addition to Pilates, Angela holds a degree in Psychology from the College of St. Benedict. She is an Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga Instructor, RYT200, a Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner, and is a certified Labor Doula by both DONA International and Childbirth International. Angela was on staff as a Doula at HCMC in Minneapolis for 11 years and has attended over 400 births. A lifelong learner, her current aspiration is to be a floral farmer/designer.
In her free time, Angela can be found traveling the world, snowboarding the Swiss Alps, surfing in Costa Rica, or just hanging out in her treehouse in Northern Minnesota.
