with Stephanie Ellison
Classical Pilates Mat Class (In-person and online)
(55 min) Sundays 9-10 AM
Join me in getting back to the mat! While Pilates is often known as core strengthening exercises, Joseph Pilates’ program was built upon breathwork and concepts of spinal flexibility, creating holistic strength, balance and agility from, as Romana liked to say, the center of the body flowing outward.

BIO:
Stephanie Ellison, a lifelong dancer, turned an early intervention to correct pigeon-toed feet and scoliosis into a lifelong passion for movement. Stephanie embraced Pilates in 2001, earning certification from Performing Arts Physical Therapy and The Pilates Studio of LA, and training with Joseph Pilates' protege, Romana Kryzanowska while teaching at Winsor Pilates in West Hollywood. She later delved into circus arts, merging play with wellness, and opening a Pilates practice within Bumbershoot Aerial Arts in St. Louis, where she also taught the Pilates curriculum under the Dance Department at Washington University.
Stephanie has taught throughout the US and internationally including Rhinebeck Pilates in New York, and in Norway, France, England, and China. In 2023, she completed her master’s with Choreomundus, an Erasmus Mundus program investigating dance, ritual, and movement systems as intangible cultural heritage. Her anthropology fieldwork considered ritualized movement and dance in attending to local landscapes in Southern England. Stephanie’s research interests dwell in interdisciplinary approaches to embodiment, rhythm, space, and sensory experience and their applications in frameworks for education, healthcare, environmental knowledge and community.
