Certified Pilates Instructor
Available to teach on Zoom only
Donnell is Pilates certified through Polestar Pilates LLC and has been teaching private and group instructions around New York since 2003. Her interest in movement began as a young dancer and has continued through her dedicated study of anatomy, bio mechanics, and various dance styles. She places an emphasis on fluidity and seeing the body as a whole in which its constituent parts work to contribute to that whole. The goal is to transform our restrictive and possibly painful habits into an unbound and well-aligned moving body. Donnell has worked with clients challenged by scoliosis, plantar fasciitis, post-op prostatectomy pelvic floor dysfunction, spinal disc herniation, spinal stenosis, bursitis, various shoulder injuries and worked with prenatal and postpartum women. Donnell eagerly continues to broaden her understanding of the body in motion through various workshops at the Kane School of Core Integration/Kinected, Steele Pilates, The Pilates Garage, The Franklin Method, her employment at Corinthian Physical Therapy from 2009-2015 and as a professional contemporary teacher, dancer and choreographer. Most recently she attended Healthy Necks with Kelly Kane and Deepening Therapeutic Skills with Kelly Kane and Scott Lyons. She has loved considering The Pilates Garage to be one of her homes since 2005.
