Theresa Ruggles

Hi! I’m Theresa Ruggles! I’ve been teaching movement classes since 2011. I’m certified in Pilates, TRX, Barre, and Yoga. My Comprehensive Pilates certification is through Balanced Body, but I also have other certifications through CAYA New York and Barre Intensity. As an E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance instructor, I have a multitude of yoga certifications including vinyasa, children’s, teen, trauma-informed, restorative, and chair yoga. I am also a certified Pilates Suspension Method Instructor.

I emphasize the importance of the mind-body connection, choreographing movement with breath as a dancer might choreograph steps with music. In my personal practice, I have always found movement to be meditative and I enjoy guiding students towards the meditation aspect of movement in their practices as well.
