Diane Epstein

Diane is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher who found a passion and love for pilates 20 years ago after seeking to find a workout that would help improve her strength, balance, and range of motion in her back and neck. Having scolosis and neck issues, finding Pilates was something Diane found to be challenging, yet helpful, with improvements in functional movement. In 2019, her passion led to a career change for Diane as she embarked on a journey with the well known globally recognized Balanced Body Comprehensive Teacher Training Program. Diane’s certifications are comprehensive including Integrated Movement Specialist, Mat Pilates, Reformer Pilates, Trapeze Table, Cadillac, Tower, Springboard, Chair, Barre, MOTR, and Ladder Barrels, and Scolio-Pilates special populations. 

Diane's motto is to balance life, self-care, mind, and functional movement through a variety of methods in order to achieve lifelong balance, control, and stability with aging.
