  • I have need flexibility in my workout schedule.
  • I want private sessions.  I want to develop a personal relationship with one dedicated teacher to guide me through my Pilates journey.
  • I have a serious or major injury/ chronic condition that prevents me from exercises in a group setting safely. 
  • I want to do group classes, but I want to start with privates to build my confident and foundational exercises before I start the School Models.
  • I am pregnant, or planning to become pregnant in the near future.
  • I did not get into the Teacher Certification because I did not meet the High Intermediate requirements.

PILATES SCHOOL FACULTY

Rayannah Salahuddin - Expert Teacher
Ray has worked in the fitness, health, and intercollegiate sports industries for over 30 years. Aside from her Classical Pilates certification, she holds advanced degrees in Kinesiology, as well as numerous certifications in pretty much every thing but Yoga.

Although you will never catch her calling herself “Dr. Salahuddin”, you will often find her dorking-out over the latest exercise science research with everyone in her class.

Pushing you to be your very best. She wants to make sure you get every bit of squeeze, stretch, and lift out of each class or session. So yeah, be ready for that! She may not be coaching volleyball anymore, but we still call her “Coach Ray” for a very good reason.
Rachael Gray - Lead Teacher
Rae is a queer, burlesque-performing, Pilates glamazon whose hairstyle is known to change a little too often. Her life revolved around shoe design and costuming until she suddenly collapsed, having dislocated her hips, SI, sacrum, tailbone, and lumbar spine all at once.

She found that Pilates was the key to healing her body and getting her life back. Rachael earned her Classical Pilates teacher certification with the goal of helping others who suffer from life-altering pain, especially those in her LGBTQIA+community, and other under-served communities that don’t have access to Pilates.

One session is all it takes to see why her clients gave her the nickname “The Pilates Domme”.
Jessica Gregory - Lead Teacher
Jessica explored many modalities of diet and exercise however nothing was changing. Shortly after this she began training in Classical Pilates where she saw and felt differences she never experienced before.

 She became a certified third generation Authentic Classical Pilates teacher.  Jessica has also been certified through ISCA in boxing and kickboxing, ACE in group fitness, and NASM as an Elite personal trainer.  Jessica is also first aid and CPR certified.

  Jessica believes that Pilates is the fountain of youth, the key to longevity, and a way of life. In the words of Joseph Pilates, “Ten sessions you will feel the difference, twenty sessions you will see the difference, thirty sessions you will have a whole new body.”  
ANGELLA COLEMAN
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.
MICHELLE "SHELL" SINGSHI
Michelle dabbled in Pilates and fitness for a while, but her training really began when she decided to sign up for her first teacher training course in 2020.  (Pilates was my “pandemic baby”)  In 2021, she decided to quit her office job and pursue her Pilates career full-time. 

She started teaching while she was still in-training, as she was uniquely blessed with the opportunity to teach people around her who were in dire need of exercise and social interaction during the pandemic.  She also had prior experience with leading classes in public schools and co-coaching a high school cheerleading team. 

Michelle holds a Stott Pilates Full Certification, which includes basic through advanced exercises on all apparatuses.  Additionally, she is a NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and previously, ACE Group Fitness Instructor.
