In case you missed it last week our Lifemoves instructor team is growing! We are so happy to have 2 brand new incredible instructors! Our newest Pilates instructor is Laney!
With a classical ballet background and comprehensive Pilates certification, she brings intense focus, precision, and exceptional attention to detail to every class. Her teaching honors the integirty of the true classical Pilates method in a way that would make Joseph Pilates himself proud.
A little more about Laney...
Laney Porterfield is a Peak Pilates-certified instructor with eight years of Pilates experience and four years as a professional ballet dancer. She was first introduced to Pilates right here at Lifemoves as a form of cross-training for dance and quickly discovered its benefits for strength, alignment, mobility, and body awareness.
Pilates has played an important role throughout Laney’s dancing career, helping her navigate the physical demands of a professional career that has included touring and continues to involve a demanding performance schedule. Through her experience as both a dancer and Pilates instructor, she has developed a deep appreciation for the way Pilates and ballet complement one another.
Laney is passionate about sharing Pilates not only as a tool for dancers, but as a practice that can benefit the body and mind in everyday life. She loves guiding others toward the same sense of strength, awareness, and connection that she has found through Pilates.
