Star Pilates Studio

Star Pilates is a classical Pilates studio that offers one-on-one private sessions. We focus on your body’s needs as the exercises strengthen, stretch, and lengthen your body. The instructors of Star Pilates are certified by Romana Kryzanowska, the world renowned protégé of Joseph Pilates himself. The studio is located a few blocks from beautiful Rittenhouse Square in a private setting. Authentic Pilates can completely transform the way your body feels, moves, and looks. It builds strength and flexibility while creating a sleek, toned body with elongated muscles.

Pilates requires constant mind/body connection while performing the exercises. This attention to the exercises is embodied by The Six Basic Principles:

• Concentration
• Fluidity
• Control
• Precision
• Center
• Breath

Amy began to fall in love with Pilates while at Goucher College in Baltimore, MD. At Goucher, she was awarded a Pilates Certification scholarship to enroll in the Romana’s Pilates Certification program in New York City in the Summer of 2003. In this program, she endured 650+ hours of training and five exams to receive her certification. Amy returned to Goucher to teach Pilates and eventually graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance in 2004. Amy moved to Philadelphia in the Fall of 2005 and after having taught at more than seven studios in four states she opened Star Pilates in March of 2008. Amy loves having her own Pilates studio and loves traveling all over the country for Pilates conventions and workshops. She has also continued her love of dance having taught Modern at Goucher and performing in the Garden State Dance Festival in 2006 and 2007 as well as being a former company member of SHARP Dance Company from 2007-2011. Lastly, Amy feels very lucky to have the best Pilates clients in Philadelphia!
