Pilates Instructors

Shoshana Goldstein – Studio Co-Owner, Pilates Trainer

Shoshana became aware of Pilates in 2001 and began to practice it later that year. She noticed that it augmented her more aerobic and playful Nia practice. Pilates was a form of cross-training that resulted in both increased overall fitness and injury reduction. Because of these things, Shoshana decided to become a Pilates trainer. She is now Comprehensively Certified in Pilates through Peak Pilates of Boulder Colorado. She teaches Privates, Duets and Trios, as well as Pilates Mat/Tower classes, Pilates MVe™ Pilates chair classes and Group Pilates Reformer classes. Shoshana is also certified to teach Prenatal Pilates. She completed the “Exercise through Pregnancy” certificate program offered at Debra Goodman Physical Therapy in 2010. Shoshana also helps mentor Pilates apprentices who are learning the Peak Pilates System. Prior to her Pilates career, Shoshana was a Nia instructor for 12 years. She was also an Occupational Therapist. Shoshana holds a M.S. in O.T. from Boston University. This is in addition to her undergrad degree in Special Education from Syracuse University.
