About Ruthanne

I have always enjoyed fitness but I absolutely fell in love with Pilates when I took my first class. I knew there was something different about this form of exercise. It was truly challenging! I learned that I could feel muscles I never knew I had! I loved how I began to carry myself. My alignment and overall posture started to connect and I felt stronger on a deeper level – especially around my core. I knew quickly that I wanted to share this Pilates experience with others. I began sharing Pilates as a Mat instructor. I went through Certification through Physical Mind Institute. For five years I instructed at various Health Clubs and Personal Best Pilates Studio in Kansas City. After, I juggled through my daughters infant stages I committed and completed the 450 hour Comprehensive Pilates Equipment Certification with Personal Best Pilates Instructor Academy in Kansas City. I can proudly say I’ve been teaching Pilates for 17 years now!   I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Rehabilitation from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. This degree focused on improving the lives of people experiencing a variety of disabilities. I’ve found the uniqueness of Pilates can successfully serve several neurological populations including Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinsons. It’s a true passion of mine to work with these students. Pilates is a great form of exercise for balance and lengthening tight muscles which many in this population struggle with. I love the work I do with Pilates but also enjoy many other things in my life! I have my wonderful husband Dana, 2 beautiful daughters, Anna and Maggie and two awesome Golden Retrievers Bentley and Stella! When I’m not teaching you’ll find me with my family or cycling around Omaha (another passion of mine!)
