About Neilla

Neilla grew up a dancer amongst athletes and teachers in the Treaty One Territory city of Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is a former professional contemporary dancer, a current Chinese martial arts enthusiast, and is willing to drive several hours for a good hike. Neilla began her Pilates journey after a lower back injury in university. The focus on not only core strength, but overall body awareness, made a profound impact on her recovery. Neilla’s instructor journey began during the first year of the pandemic. With the performing arts on pause, she needed something else to fill her time. An opportunity came up to train as a Pilates instructor so she jumped at the chance and never looked back. Neilla’s love of Pilates is grounded in her drive to teach people how to live without pain. Her focus is to work collaboratively with members to teach them how their body operates and how to change dysfunctional movement patterns so that they can become stronger from the inside out, all the while getting a good workout in.
