Lead Teacher

Angella’s first experience teaching Pilates was 6 years ago in Palo Alto at a contemporary studio. She began teaching at Pilates V while completing the Pilates V internship training program led by classically trained Instructor Cecilia Pulido. Getting certified in Pilates was only the beginning. She has also completed an associate degree in Kinesiology and multiple certification: personal training, corrective exercise specialist, and group exercise.

Being a strong athlete as a child and an adolescent, Angella has always had a passion for athletic movement. Athletic dreams ended after an ACL injury in high school senior year. When introduced to an online P class as a mother in her 30’s she fell in love quickly with all the challenges and benefits Pilates offers.

Everyone should be doing Pilates cause it improves the connection we have to our bodies. Resulting in better movement while reducing chances for injury. Angella wants to empower clients through her teaching by helping people discover how Pilates fits for their body. She wants to help students see past viewing Pilates through the small lens of Pilates perfectionism and shallow fitness marketing schemes. You can expect hands on care and thoughtful feedback to help clients to keep searching for deeper connection to their Pilates practice.
