My 2025 Ins & Outs ❌✅

12/27/2024

today is my birthday. 27 feels like an age I didn’t expect to come so quickly. As I kid I was always itching to be older so I could be taken more seriously. Now I wish I gave little Mia more time to shine. So in honor of my 27th birthday. Here’s 27 things I’ve learned…

1. Everything happens for a reason.
2. Things do get better with time.
3. Not everyone is going to like you and that’s okay.
4. Grief will hit you in waves. Keep little reminders that they are with you.
5. Your instinct is never wrong. It’s always guiding you in the right direction.
6. your emotions is a sign of strength, it’s not a weakness.
7. Little gestures matter the most.
8. Sometimes rejection is just redirection.
9. Say I love you to your people more.
10. Failure is a great opportunity to learn.
11. If you ignore it now, you’ll have to deal with it in 10 fold later.
12. Lead with compassion not judgement.
13. Comparison is the thief of joy
14. Everyone’s paths and timing are different.
15. Chase growth, not perfection.
16. You can’t serve others unless you are also serving yourself.
17. Your body is constantly going to change! Love it through all stages.
18. Nothing lasts forever. The good or bad.
19. Less “what if?” more “yes, and”
20. Make a real budget lol.
21. You can’t do better until you know better. Life is continuous learning.
22. Stop caring if your plans & life direction change. No one knows your plans but you.
23. Learn to say no.
24. It may sound cliché but it’s a bad day, not a bad life.
25. Take a breather and slow down.
26. Love isn’t fireworks & fairytales. It’s patient and calm.
27. Keep doing things that would make your younger self proud.

Let’s run it back! I had such a great time hosting my first Pilates for Dancers class at Paradigm last month that we had to do it again. This time adding a little spice with the magic circle.

In this class we will explore classical mat exercises while addressing common imbalances & weaker muscle groups for dancers. Class is open to all movers! Whether you’re a dance at the club kinda dancer, professional dancers or just groove in your kitchen kinda dancer. Come move with me 💫🌸

Feeling super fulfilled, inspired and grateful after spending the last 3 days in community & conversation with other brilliant Pilates minds. Thank you .yip for cultivating a space for Pilates teachers from all over to continue to grow & learn. I’m so grateful for your mentorship, knowledge & perspective. I can’t wait to torture my students with all the new things I learned. Never stop learning 💕

First (but not last) Pilates for Dancers class was a success! Thank you to both my everyday dancers & honorary dancers who joined me.

This class was a beautiful full circle moment for me. Early in the pandemic I was craving community & started I teaching Pilates classes via IG live & zoom. I then started teaching Pilates for Dancers in Central Park. 4 years later, I’ve built a new community of dancers, Pilates lovers & everyday movers. I have so much more knowledge about movement & very grateful I got to share that wealth with my new community. Thank you to .yip for giving me the platform to try this out. Thank you to old & new friends for joining me. Stay tuned for the next one! There’s so much more I have to share 💕💫💃

Allow me to reintroduce myself…

Hi I’m Mia! I am an NYC based Pilates instructor, group fitness instructor & dancer.

About me! 💫
•I’m originally from a small town in Ohio
•I’m a Capricorn Sun, Sagittarius Moon, Gemini Rising (and I will talk about astrology all day with you)
•Moved to NYC in 2016 to study dance at Marymount Manhattan College
•I first took Pilates in high school & hated it! I rediscovered it after my freshman year of college (and modern dance classes) and loved it!
• I started teaching group fitness & pilates while I was a junior in college
• I come from a whole family of teachers!
• I love being versatile both in life and in fitness
• strength training 🤝 Pilates
• i am a movement enthusiast! Pilates, dance, bouldering, boxing, snowboarding, pole dancing, and more!

Why Pilates? 💫

Practicing Pilates has personally helped me in all areas of my life. It has helped me access my inner power, confidence, and resilience. I’ve become more patient, understanding and aware of my body. Pilates helped me find strength and defense through movement. I strive to help my students find the same results. I fuse my knowledge of other modalities with my love for classical Pilates to help deliver an unique experience to my students. Pilates truly can be for everyone if you approach it correctly. Whether you are an athlete, dancer, recreational mover or new to movement entirely, Pilates will benefit you. All movement is good movement as long as you enjoy it. I look forward to moving with you! 💕
