Union Pilates owner and teacher, Ashley Newman.
Pilates and Scoliosis Suffering
When I was dancing ballet, my lower back hurt. A physical therapist advised me to start pilates because my spine was misaligned. There was nothing else I found to relieve my scoliosis symptoms.
Experience
Once I graduated from Scripps College, Southern California, I relocated to Seattle, started to work at Metropolitan Pilates, and enrolled in the instructor training program. Master Teacher Dorothee van De Walle provided the most comprehensive and intensive program I could find globally in her studio. In addition, I learned Joseph Pilates' theories and work, which both intrigued me and healed my body. I also did a year-long apprenticeship, worked at the finest Pilates studios and gyms in Seattle, including Metropolitan Pilates and Washington Athletic Club, and founded the Club Zum Pilates program.
