Jamie Russell

Originally from the Midwest, Jamie was introduced to the Pilates method at the age of 13 as a supplement to her Ballet training. After moving to San Francisco to join Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet Training Program her Pilates practice continued to help her maintain physical and mental balance inside and outside of the studio. By 2011, Jamie had completed her first comprehensive Pilates teacher training in New York, and received a second certification with Balanced Body in 2014. She has gone on to complete numerous hours of continuing education with master trainers and 3rd generation teachers worldwide in both the classical and contemporary methods. Jamie is also certified in Gyrotonic which she believes adds a valuable layer of insight and nuance to her teaching. Jamie believes that improved quality of movement leads to improved quality of life and aims to empower students of every level to reach their goals.
