Pilates & Barre
An experienced movement educator, Janelle has lead master classes in dance and Pilates around the country, including for Audible and Amazon, and has taught at top dance and fitness studios in NYC and the greater Boston area. She holds a Power Pilates advanced mat certification and received her Reformer and apparatus training through Balanced Body.
Janelle was first introduced to Pilates while pursuing her BFA in Ballet at the University of Utah, and quickly discovered how the practice changed her dancing, her body, core strength, and muscle awareness. Throughout her performing career, Pilates continued to be her go-to cross-training, and looking to dig deeper, she received her beginner mat certification from Power Pilates. Shortly after, Janelle was invited to train with the founder of the Physique 57 barre method, and joined their elite team of instructors. As a senior instructor, she taught wait-listed classes at Physique 57's flagship Manhattan studios for over three years, and was featured in their first series of workout videos.
Upon moving to New England, Janelle followed her passion for mindful fitness to Boston, where she became certified in Exhale Spa's Core Fusion Barre and Cardio Barre, and taught weekly classes at their Back Bay studio.
While preparing for a dance company tour in 2017, she began to train once again in classical Pilates, and went on to complete her Power Pilates Intermediate and Advanced mat certification. She completed her Reformer studies through Balanced Body, and continues to work toward her comprehensive certification.
Janelle continues to be inspired by the many benefits of regular Pilates practice, and loves to share this life-changing system with her students and clients. As a mom of two in her 40s, she attributes much of her success in dance and injury prevention to its powers. She firmly believes what Joseph Pilates famously said: “Change happens through movement, and movement heals.”
