Ruthanne Rodriguez

Ruthanne has a lifetime of experience in somatic movement. She began as a dancer but grew up a competitive gymnast where she was introduced to Pilates in 1982 as part of her training and rehabilitation regimen. It was during this time that she was taught to see the details of form and imbalances in the body. After seven competitive years in the sport, she went on to coach competitive gymnasts nationally and internationally. She studied Modern Dance as her second major in college where mat Pilates was incorporated into their education as well as the understanding of biomechanics. After college, she choreographed for theater, gymnastics, and turned to ballroom and Latin dance for recreation. Eventually, Ruthanne’s passion for the human body directed her to massage therapy. Her studies include meditation, aromatherapy, and energy work. In 2006, she returned to the discipline of Pilates when she completed training through The Physical Mind Institute. Ruthanne has extensive training and experience with rehab and post-rehab clients; amateur, pro, and retired athletes; fitness enthusiasts; and condition inflicted clients such those with osteoporosis, MS, Parkinsonʼs, low back and other joint issues. Ruthanne teaches for the body in front of her and uses both classical and contemporary methods while holding true to the fundamentals of Pilates.
