Dana Widell
Apprentice Instructor
Dana was born in Summit, NJ about 25 minutes outside of NYC. She moved to St. Augustine, FL to attend Flagler College and graduated with a degree in Business Administration. She fell in love with the area and stayed here after graduation. She has worked in the medical field in Administration, Medical Billing and Human Resources for close to 30 years. She studied Reiki in 2014 and became certified as a Reiki Healer. She enjoyed Women’s CrossFit and Cardio Kickboxing until she experienced a chemical exposure in 2017. The exposure damaged her lungs making her unable to perform high intensity cardio workouts. In a search for a new way to exercise, she found Pilates and fell in love! Pilates has improved her capacity to breathe and allowed her to work on her mind and body. She loved Pilates so much that she decided to become an instructor to teach others the benefits of Pilates. She wants to help others to feel healthy, strong, and balanced in their body and their mind.
