Anna Lovato has been teaching movement since 1995. Her lifelong studies in dance and injuries in her own body led her to Pilates in 1997, she began her Pilates training with Core Dynamics in 1998, and has been teaching Pilates ever since.
In addition to her dance training she has three Pilates specific certifications and is currently working on her forth with Body Arts and Science International.
While teaching Pilates in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Anna discovered a need for hands on techniques and chose to study Traditional Thai Massage. Her instruction includes over 300 combined hours from the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts and Master Teacher Pichet Boonthume of Hang Dong, Thailand.
During her undergrad work at Colorado State University, dancing twenty plus hours a week, she attributed her constant low back pain to over use. While some professors tried to address pelvic alignment, no one took the time to explain how the pelvis directly affects the back. Years later while studying Pilates, she had a revelation – those five years of back pain were totally unnecessary.
Anna brings her diverse background in rehabilitation, bodywork, and personal fitness to her Pilates practice. Today she works with a wide variety of clientele to improve posture, mobility, flexibility, and strength. She strives to empower her clients, by providing them with the tools to take control of their physical selves and improve the quality of their own lives.
