Welcome!
Hi, Iām Meredith, but most people call me Meri! I am a comprehensively trained Pilates instructor and dance educator.
My passion for movement began with classical ballet as a child and led me to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ballet from the University of Utah and a Master of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Arizona. After graduation, I taught dance throughout the DMV area, including working with competitive figure skaters.
In 2022, I completed my comprehensive Pilates certification through the Equinox Pilates Training Institute under Carrie Macy Samper. I served as a Pilates Educator with Equinox, helping train and mentor the next generation of Pilates instructors. I continue to deepen my study of the Pilates method with Katie Yip and Christie Wang, while also exploring the work of Kathi Ross Nash.
As an instructor, I am committed to preserving the integrity of the Pilates method while teaching through a contemporary, empathetic lens. Drawing on my extensive dance background and trained eye for movement, I tailor each session to the individual in front of me. My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling stronger, more connected, and better than when you arrived.
If you're curious about Pilates and how it can support your goals, I'd love to connect. Please reach out at thesymmetryroom@gmail.com.
