Emily
Emily is a professional dancer and Pilates Instructor who relocated to the Capital District from NYC. She has found her Upstate home, joining both The Pilates Principle’s team and the Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company in August of 2021!
Between 2011-2012, Emily underwent bilateral knee surgeries for meniscus tears that were results of malalignment and a lack of cross-training in her dance education. Luckily, her rehab journey included a robust Pilates regiment of exercises, inevitably causing her wheels to start turning…
In 2015, Emily completed her full comprehensive Pilates certification with Polestar Pilates. She spent from 2015-2020 teaching a range of different clients in different studio settings including physical therapy clinics, boutique studios, and corporate studios. In 2020, Emily decided it was time to hit the “refresh” button on her Pilates education, and went on to complete Alycea Ungaro’s Real Pilates Teacher Training Program as a Bridge student.
Emily’s teaching style could be described in one word as “relatable.” She is passionate about making Pilates feel accessible and empowering to each individual she has the pleasure of teaching. Emily specializes in a wide range of clients; she has experience in working with individuals with scoliosis and other spine pathologies, total hip & knee replacements, pre & post natal individuals, as well as professional athletes & performers.
