Emily Guiliano began Pilates in 2015 when she was searching for an activity that would re-engage and re-energize the mind-body connection she knew and loved throughout her 15 years of martial arts training. Her previous evolution from student to sensei of Okinawan Karate, under Grand Masters Gregory and Judy Tearney (Syracuse, NY), made the progression of her practice of Pilates and joining the United States Pilates Association, LLC. certification program seem organic. She was proud to travel this new path to share her enjoyment and the benefits of Pilates with others.

​

Akin to her martial arts background, Emily appreciates the traditional training, mentorship, and ideology that Classical Pilates. provides, as well as the instructor lineage which connects to Joseph Pilates through his protege Romana Kyrzanowska. Emily was certified in 2017 after completing over 600 hours of intensive training at the Pilates Loft in Arlington with Alia Staples, Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC; Jennifer O’Mara, Principal and Senior Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC, Brett Howard, Director of Education, Principal and and Senior Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC and David Freeman Principal and Senior Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC.

​

Emily holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business with a concentration in Management, Finance, and Economics, and values both the counterbalance and complimentary qualities that Pilates provides to her career.
