Benna M.
Instructor
As a Dance major at UCLA and Mills College, I have been a fitness and dance professional working and teaching in high school, community colleges, film, television, and even theater. As a lead ballroom dancer on Crystal Cruises, I suffered a back injury and found Pilates. Knowing Pilates would always be a part of my foundation for movement, I received my Pilates certification through Marie Jose Blom. I have enjoyed teaching Pilates in California, Mexico, and Panama City. With extensive experience working with people who have hearing impairments, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological disorders, I remain enthusiastically dedicated to helping people improve the quality of their lives through Pilates. My hobbies and interests include: hiking, biking, playing with my puppy Zoey and ballroom dancing. As I begin a new adventure as part of the Club Pilates Eugene community, my guiding belief and personal mantra: Embrace every morning with gratitude!
