Laura Mullens

I grew up in Simi Valley, CA and dreamed of moving to “the big city” of Los Angeles. Dance has always been a passion of mine and I have trained in a variety of styles including ballet, tap, jazz, Irish, contemporary and hip hop. During my years competing with nationally and internationally ranked Irish dance teams, I overcame a variety of injuries from muscular strains to ankle sprains. The techniques behind the dance training and injury rehabilitation methods sparked my interest in fitness and Pilates. Fascinated by the capabilities of the human body and inspired by the combination of art and athleticism of professional dancers, I received a degree in Bioengineering from UCLA and completed a year of graduate work in the Biokinesiology program at USC. In addition to dancing and choreographing with a Los Angeles-based dance company, LA Unbound, I am a certified Pilates Instructor teaching at House of Fitness in Culver City and Ocean Pilates in Santa Monica.
