Virginia first began pilates practice in 2000. Her hamstrings were tight; she could hardly touch her toes! She needed to find bodywork that would help her focus on her physical health, and, at the same time, unwind from her job as a television producer.

Pilates did that, and more. Virginia enjoyed the benefits of pilates so much, she took the opportunity to train at Mind the Body with Riki Richter and Dara Jakouvic in 2007. Since completing her mat certification, Virginia has continued her education in movement and anatomy with renowned instructors including Riki Richter, Karen Carlson, Alan Herdman and Dianne Miller.

In addition to teaching at Mind the Body, Virginia remains a dedicated student with an ongoing routine of mat and machine work
