Read About This Teacher
Ashley Frances Hoffman's first experience with Pilates was a Mat class taught by one of her dance teachers in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout her dance training and while pursuing a career as a ballet dancer, she trained with Pilates teachers in Illinois, Virginia, Indiana, Colorado, New York, and Zurich, Switzerland. Pilates was always her cross-training during her dance education and professional dance career.Ashley moved to California in 2007 to dance with The Los Angeles Ballet, and then began a career as a freelance contemporary ballet dancer. She worked with companies such as the LA Opera, Luminario Ballet, and performed in music videos, most notably Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off." In 2009, she completed her Comprehensive Pilates Training through Power Pilates, taught by Sheri Berkowitz in Beverly Hills and began teaching clients at Equinox in Los Angeles. Under the mentorship of Carrie Macy Samper, Ashley became a Teacher Trainer for the Equinox Pilates Institute, and co-led a Pre/Post Natal Continuing Education Workshop with Carrie. In 2022, Ashley completed Jill Miller's Yoga Tune Up® Teacher Training, which she believes compliments the work and principles of Pilates.
Ashley lives in Los Angeles with her husband and young son and now teaches privately. She has trained several clients pre, during, and postnatal. The birth of her son in 2020 gave Ashley a special passion for the physical issues women face in all stages of life. In addition to Pilates, she incorporates weightlifting into her personal fitness training to reduce pain caused by hypermobility. Her diverse, longtime Pilates clients bring her joy each week as they work together to focus on the quintessential Pilates benefits such as body awareness, connection, and strength.
