Arlene has mentored hundreds of students from around the world to become
certified Pilates instructors. Arlene has gained recognition through featured

Arlene has dedicated her professional career to Pilates as she believes it blends
together her love of science and movement. Throughout her formative years,
Arlene spent her free time in movement, as a gymnast and musical theatre
performer, then culminating in a dance career as a young adult. Yet she excelled
in academia. Arlene graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a
degree in Food Science and Business as she was drawn to the analytical
aspects of chemistry and business. Arlene found Pilates in the early 1990’s and
never looked back. It was the perfect way to blend her passion for creative
movement and scientific analysis. You can learn more about Arlene and Body
