In 2020 Nandini became a Master Trainer to share her love of teaching with others who want to pursue the path of becoming a certified Pilates teacher. Nandini spent many years in the world of corporate training and development, which helped prepare her for becoming a teacher and Master Trainer for Club Pilates. Nandini lives in Costa Mesa, California and spends her free time traveling, enjoying beach walks and hiking trails, and discovering new coffee shops. -------------------------------------------- Valerie has just recently moved from the East Coast where she was the Assistant Lead Instructor at Montvale, Wyckoff and Paramus Park. She now resides in the Seattle area and is excited to continue working for Club Pilates near her new home. She completed her Master Training Certification with Club Pilates and is also a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. She has combined her love of movement and practice in mental health alongside her Pilates teachings. Valerie began her Pilates journey in college and fell in love. She joined Club Pilates as a member as soon as one opened up in her area, and has never looked back. She completed her comprehensive training with Club Pilates in 2018, and has received further certifications in TRX, Barre Above and ActivMotion Bar. She values the whole body integration of Pilates into day to day life and can't imagine a better way than to share this with those who want to be instructors!
