Teacher Details

A dancer for many years, Jaime has long had a passion for the human body and how it works. At Arizona State University, Jaime earned a B.F.A. in Dance, which included the study of anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and kinesiology. Since graduating, she has performed with several modern dance companies in Arizona and the Bay Area, touring in California, Washington State, and Vietnam (where she was the only person to be found in the hotel's decidedly un-air-conditioned fitness center).

Jaime first discovered Pilates in a high school dance class, though it went unnamed until years later when private sessions were offered as a job perk. Her love for movement and fitness made Jaime realize that she either needed to invent a treadmill desk, or leave her job in management for a life of Pilates.

Choosing the later, she promptly pursued her certification through Pilates Academy International, and fell in love with how Pilates can strengthen the muscles while lengthening them and be adapted to any fitness level or objective. Pilates helped Jaime run her first marathon and has transformed her chronically weak upper body, allowing her to pursue the art of trapeze and aerial pole dancing. Jaime is also a certified Prenatal and Post partum Exercise Specialist through The Center for Women's Fitness and a Fletcher Spine Corrector instructor. Looking to add her love of Yoga to her teaching repertoire, Jaime completed a 200 hour Yoga certification at the Yoga Alliance compliant Yoga Tree in San Francisco, under the direction of Darren Main. Jaime looks forward to helping you attain your goals, as well as setting new ones!
