Hayley D.
Instructor
Hayley discovered her passion for Pilates while dancing with the Richmond Ballet in Virginia. In a small studio in the Richmond Ballet basement, she trained extensively with Pilates instructor and guru Jerry Weiss. She found that Pilates not only enhanced her movement quality and fluidity, but also brought greater peace and awareness to her daily life. With her undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences with a concentration in anatomy and physiology, and profession as a ballet dancer, Hayley provides a keen eye for alignment, produces a nurturing environment, and promotes a greater mind-body connection for her students. Hayley attained her Pilates certificate from Orange Coast College where she received training in the Stott, Balanced Body, Ron Fletcher, Rael Isacowitz, and Romana Kryzanowska styles of Pilates under Amelie Hunter and David McMahon. Other than Pilates, Hayley enjoys reading, being outdoors, and spending time with her two cats, two dogs, and loving husband. Hayley’s greatest desire is for her students to leave a session feeling better than when they arrived.
