Why We Teach Classical Pilates
Classical Pilates builds full-body strength for more coordinated, confident movement.
It challenges you in an approachable way while teaching you how your body is designed to work efficiently.
Classical Pilates is different. The teaching matters. The order matters. The progression matters. The equipment matters. Together, they create meaningful, lasting change.
Trust us when we say Classical Pilates is unique. Even what you learn in your first session stays with you and positively influences everything in your life.
We believe when you move better, you live better. Which is why our studio is called MOVE MISSOULA.

It is my passion to help each client achieve what is important to them, whether it is healing from an injury, building athletic performance strength, or just maintaining overall strength and flexibility. My approach to each client is specific and personal to their strengths and weaknesses. My favorite part is that I have the opportunity to help others find their strength. A strength that maybe they didn’t know they had. I believe that the practice of Pilates supports the physical and mental health we need to manage our daily lives successfully. I am certified by Power Pilates, the Physical Mind Institute, PiYo, Relief Through Rolling Instructor, MoveBarre and MoveGlide and certified by the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA-CPT). I have been teaching since 1997. I worked and studied Pilates in New York with highly experienced trainers such as Bob Liekens, Susan Moran-Perich and the renowned Romana Kryzanowska for 10 years. Fortuitously, I learned from some of the best. I am a certified teacher-trainer for Classical Pilates certification programs and continuing education courses. This has given me the opportunity to travel nationally experiencing how Pilates positively transforms people’s lives and livelihood. A BFA degree in Modern Dance has given me a thorough knowledge of kinesiology and anatomy, an understanding of movement and proper alignment. I believe in Pilates and enjoy witnessing the transformations clients experience through this form of exercise. This is my life; I would love to share it with you.

When I first started Pilates, I could feel a shift happening in my body. Even having been active my whole life, I wasn’t necessarily “in tune” with how my body was moving. Consistently practicing Pilates immediately translated to how I was moving when going about my daily life. From the moment I started, I knew someday I would teach. Three kiddos later, I teach, I continue to practice, and receive Pilates in my own body. Both Pilates and Move Barre have helped me throughout my pregnancies and with recovering and maintaining my physical and mental health. Through the years, I have earned Comprehensive Certification through Power Pilates with Alison and am also certified through Pilates Method Alliance. I continue to be mentored and inspired daily, not only in teaching, but in my own practice as well. As a working mother, I strive to maintain a health/work/life balance. I’m excited to help you find your balance and help you discover what amazing things your body can do through mindful movement!
Jenny is Comprehensively Certified with Power Pilates and is a Pilates Method Alliance Certified Pilates Teacher (PMA-CPT). She is certified with Move Missoula for Move Barre and MoveGlide.

The first time I took a Pilates class I remember thinking: “Yes! This is it!” Pilates spoke to my body the way that nothing else had before. Pilates was the perfect combination of strength and grace. I hadn’t been doing Pilates long before I knew I had to be a teacher. As with most things in life, timing is everything, and I wasn’t in a place in my life where I could do a Pilates training. I had two difficult pregnancies, and two big moves before I was in a place where I could do a teacher training program. In the meantime I was teaching mat Pilates, working as a cycle instructor, a barre instructor and BodyPump instructor. The whole time I was teaching group fitness I was craving the deeper connection and education I knew I would get through a comprehensive Pilates teacher training. One day I was scrolling Instagram and I saw a post on Move Missoula’s feed that asked: “Have you ever wanted to be a Pilates instructor?” I believe I said out loud, “YES!” I emailed Alison immediately and was in training a week later! It has been the realization of a dream I’d had for years! I love teaching Pilates! Seriously, since starting my training I have become convinced that it is the cure for everything (just ask my family). I have also noticed a huge change in my own body. I feel stronger, more flexible and more in tune with my own body. I am the mom to 4 kids, I married my high school sweetheart and we have two dogs. I fill any extra time I have with my photography business, making things, music and travel.
