Liz Ann has been teaching pilates since 1994. Her interest in physical therapy was the impetus for choosing to certify with Polstar Education, a more rehab-oriented focus. Liz Ann also worked in California as a Physical Therapist Assistant adding Pilates to that practice. Additionally, she practiced massage therapy in those early years, but now focuses on teaching and studying Pilates and healthy movement. Other areas of study include yoga, continuum movement, dance, and breath work.

Liz Ann founded Body in Balance Pilates Studio soon after she moved to Bozeman in 1999. Over the past four years, she has directed her studies toward the Ron Fletcher Pilates Program of Study. Ron Fletcher was an original disciple of Joseph Pilates and continues to develop the "work" at the age of 85(ish). Liz Ann feels honored to have studied under one of the last living Grand Masters.

Liz Ann is among the first certified instructors by the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). PMA made history in 2005 by launching the first industry-wide certification exam for the Pilates method in the United States. It has established recommended industry performance parameters guiding the practice of all PMA Certified and non-certified Pilates teachers.

Along with Pilates, Liz Ann loves to play in the great outdoors. She applies the Pilates principles while she rock climbs, bikes, and runs during the summer months. During the winter, she enjoys nordic ski racing and backcountry telemarking.

Exciting recent news, is the business partnership Liz Ann and Jen Wiles of Fit Flow Pilates have created. Between these two minds, ideas are flowing, making classes and private lessons more beneficial and fun for you.
